Tuya

by Claudia Pineiro

Published 1 May 2005
The discovery of a lipstick-drawn heart with the words "I Love You" written accross, and signed "Yours," serves as proof of Inés' husband's infidelity. This discovery is the beginning of the singular story of a housewife who is willing to go to any lengths to maintain appearance -- and her marriage. Tuya is much more than a dizzying thriller; it is the devastating and inexorable portrait of the harsh realities of middle-class intimacy.
