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 master's degree and a doctorate; she would travel to London. But his decision was that she would not have a life without him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning 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 sister's voice crossing time and, like that of so many disappeared and outraged women in Mexico, demanding justice.","brand":"Rivera, Garza Cristina","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44499175178530,"sku":"9781526649362","price":18.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/rivera-garza-cristina-garza-cristina-rivera-liliana-s-invincible-summer-2023-paperback-9781526649362-60274609094995.jpg?v=1733200517","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/lilianas-invincible-summer","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
