Description
January, a radical feminist novel by Sara Gallardo, is a pioneering work that conjures the life of a 16-year-old girl living on the Argentine pampas. Now in English for the first time, this masterpiece explores the life-threatening risks pregnancy posed in a society where abortion was both outlawed and taboo.
The novel breaks new ground by representing rape from the survivor's perspective and shedding light on the silence surrounding abortion in 20th-century Argentina. With elegant prose and forceful storytelling, Gallardo brings to life a world of sweltering heat and desperation, where a young girl must navigate her own body and desires.
With its narcotic musicality and voice scorched through with honesty, January is an experience that has been lived and ignored a thousand times over. This powerful novel invites readers to careen alongside its protagonist and see the world anew.
