Time Of The Flies

Claudia Piñeira

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Time Of The Flies by Claudia Piñeira follows Inés 15 years after she kills her husband's lover.

What We Say: “Years after killing her husband’s lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and they’ve started a business – FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies – dedicated to pest control and private investigation, by women, for women. But when one of Inés' clients wants her to kill more than just bugs, questions are raised about culpability and fallibility, about family and love and other hostile forces. A page turner and a thriller, at the same time a mediation on feminism and the choices – or lack of – available to women by acclaimed Argentinian author Claudia Piñeira” — Maria Padget

What They Say: "As Piñeiro unpacks her Pandora box of stories, voices, preoccupations, characters, you wonder, how on earth will she weave them together? Not that you care—her ability to be everybody and everything, including flies, carries you along" — Julia Alvarez
