Synopsis

A woman is raped and left for dead in rural Mexico; her husband and lover are forced to confront their own complicity as they piece together what happened. Melchor's prose is dense, violent, and unflinching — it doesn't shy away from the ugly reality of gendered violence, class resentment, and small-town hypocrisy.
