The Case of Lisandra P.

Author(s): Helene Gremillon

Location(s): Argentina

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Later 20th Century

Buenos Aires, 1987. When a beautiful young woman named Lisandra is found dead at the foot of a six-story building, her husband, a psychoanalyst, is immediately arrested for her murder. Convinced of Vittorio’s innocence, one of his patients, Eva Maria, is drawn into the investigation seemingly by chance. As Eva Maria combs through secret recordings of Vittorio s most recent therapy sessions in search of the killer could it be the powerful government figure? The jealous woman? The musician who’s lost his reason to live? Eva Maria is forced to confront her most painful memories, and some of the darkest moments in Argentinian history.

In breathless prose that captures the desperate spinning of a frantic mind, Helene Gremillon blurs the lines of past and present, personal and political, reality and paranoia in this daring and compulsively readable novel.
