A review by lepasseportlitteraire
La perra by Pilar Quintana
3.75
This is my second Pilar Quintana book, and just like the first one it was crude and quite disturbing, giving an insight into the inner troubles of the human mind and emotions.
Damaris, living with her longtime husband on the coast of Colombia, decides one day to adopt a rescue dog, which quickly becomes the child she never had. However, when the dog escapes and unexpectedly comes back home, their relationship begins to deteriorate as Damaris struggles with attachment issues and jealousy, all leading to a surprising unfolding of events.
I enjoyed the writing and the bald description of human nature. Without holding back on the ugliness, Pilar Quintana manages to paint an image of human emotions, showing how they can completely overcome logic and take over people's lives.
