Description
Fernanda and Annelise are inseparable, a double image that blurs the lines between friendship and obsession. When Fernanda is bound on the floor of an abandoned cabin, kidnapped by one of her teachers, the boundaries between reality and nightmare begin to dissolve. This ominous novel weaves together the threads of adolescence, obsession, horror, and the fine line between fear and desire, as two young women struggle to maintain their grip on sanity. Their literature teacher, Miss Clara, is a complex and troubled figure, obsessed with imitating her dead mother and immobilized by past traumas. Meanwhile, Annelise and Fernanda's secret dare blurs the lines between affection and violence, leading to a descent into darkness. Ecuadorian author Mónica Ojeda crafts a multivocal novel that explores the complexities of female relationships, the fragility of the human psyche, and the terrifying power of desire. With its ominous tone and unflinching portrayal of adolescent angst, "Jawbone" is a haunting and unsettling read that will leave you questioning the boundaries between fear and desire.
