A fictional autobiography or a portrait in which every woman recognizes herself?

Since childhood, Yuna transfers all her experiences onto the canvas, for painting is the only language she can master. The world of a dysfunctional family in the Argentine city of La Plata, in a house without men and full of women with physical, mental, or imaginary "uglinesses" — an image that will bring her fame and new challenges.

The debut of eighty-year-old Aurora Venturini, friend of Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Eugène Ionesco, who challenges all conventions of literary language. Her prose can be compared to Kiza's novel "Flowers for Algernon" and Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury."
