Elena Knows (Paperback)

'Short and stylish...a piercing commentary on mother-daughter relationships, the indignity of bureaucracy, the burdens of caregiving and the impositions of religious dogma on women.' - The New York Times

'A murder mystery with a twist.' - The Globe and Mail

'Its true brilliance, though, is in how it flips Elena's insular daily reality into a much broader commentary on how the hypocrisy of Catholic society manifests in the lives and judgments of ordinary people. A highly accomplished and original novel, translated with great sensitivity to tone and atmosphere by Frances Riddle.' - The Irish Times

'A gloriously taut and haunting tale...astonishingly assured.' - Denise Mina
