La noche en el corazón

"With those nights and those lives, with those women who run, with those hearts that fight, with those overwhelming moments that defy the measure of time—something had to be done. The impossibility of capturing the whole truth lies on every page, yet so does the desperate search for a justice that comes as close as possible to life, to the night, to the heart, to the body, to the soul. Of these three women, one had to begin with the first: the one who had just turned twenty-five when she ran, and who is the only one still alive today. That woman is me." "Night in the Heart" intertwines the stories of three women who were victims of violence at the hands of their partners. Poised between strength and humility, Nathacha Appanah examines the unbearable enigma of intimate partner femicide—that moment when pitch-black night replaces love.
