About the Book

Una novela coral en la que las voces de sus protagonistas componen un cuadro y una denuncia: el abuso es una cuestión de poder. Por la nueva voz de la literatura canadiense. «Esta mujer llegará lejos.» (Margaret Atwood)

Hay en Winnipeg un lugar sin nombre y sin ley donde todo puede pasar. Es un descampado, una franja árida de tierra, que parte la ciudad en dos: de un lado las familias acomodadas, y del otro unos caserones grandes y destartalados. Ahí viven muchas mujeres y hombres de la etnia métis, descendientes de las poblaciones indias que poblaban Canadá antes de la llegada de los conquistadores.

Hace frío esta noche en Winnipeg, y Stella se asoma a la ventana de su casa que da al descampado para ver cómo caen los copos de nieve. De repente, entre la neblina, ve unos cuerpos moverse, luego un bulto en el suelo. Al rato, la nada: solo una mancha roja de sangre en el barro helado. La mujer piensa en una violación y llama a la policía, pero nadie parece creerle: poco importa lo que pase en aquel lugar sin nombre.

Stella es la primera en una larga cadena de mujeres que levantan la voz en esta espléndida novela de Katherena Vermette para contar su historia y hablar de lo que sienten en un mundo donde el poder. puede, acosa y abusa, más allá de la diferencia de sexos. Nieva en Winnipeg, pero se ha roto por fin el silencio.

Reseña:
«Vermette sabe muy bien de qué habla y también sabe cómo contarlo. Esta mujer llegará lejos.».-Margaret Atwood

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

When Stella, a young Métis mother, looks out her window one evening and spots someone in trouble on the Break? a barren field on an isolated strip of land outside her house ? she calls the police to alert them to a possible crime.

In a series of shifting narratives, people who are connected, both directly and indirectly, with the victim? police, family, and friends ? tell their personal stories leading up to that fateful night. Lou, a social worker, grapples with the departure of her live-in boyfriend. Cheryl, an artist, mourns the premature death of her sister Rain. Paulina, a single mother, struggles to trust her new partner. Phoenix, a homeless teenager, is released from a youth detention centre. Officer Scott, a Métis policeman, feels caught between two worlds as he patrols the city. Through their various perspectives a larger, more comprehensive story about lives of the residents in Winnipeg's North End is exposed.

A powerful intergenerational family saga, The Break showcases Vermette's abundant writing talent and positions her as an exciting new voice in literary fiction.
