A triumph JACKIE KAYAbsorbing and poetic ECONOMISTFull of tenderness and beauty MARIANA ENRIQUEZFrom one of Mexicos greatest contemporary writers, an astonishing work of non-fiction that illuminates an epidemic of femicide in Mexico through the death of one woman.I seek justice, I finally said. I seek justice for my sister . . . Sometimes it takes twenty-nine years to say it out loud, to say it out loud on a phone call with a lawyer at the General Attorneys office: I seek justice.On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garzas sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexicos dark and relentless history of femicide.She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go. A few weeks before the tragedy, Liliana made a definitive decision: at the height of her winter she had discovered that, as Albert Camus had said, there was an invincible summer in her. She would leave him behind. She would start a new life. She would do a masters degree and a doctorate; she would travel to London. But his decision was that she would not have a life without him.Returning to Mexico after decades of living in the United States, Cristina Rivera Garza collects and curates evidence – handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, voice recordings and architectural blueprints – to defy a pattern of increasingly normalised, gendered violence and understand the life lost. What she finds is Liliana: her sisters voice crossing time and, like that of so many disappeared and outraged women in Mexico, demanding justice.
