Descripció
In deliciously ironic, and at times breathtakingly poetic prose, We, the Casertas is the story of Chela, the first-born child to a wealthy family in Buenos Aires. Threatened by her extraordinary intellect, her parents immediately take against her, instead lavishing attention on her beautiful sister. Chela is soon exiled to the attic and allowed to run wild, her only friend a lame owl with whom she explores the countryside.
Chela’s intellectual curiosity grows and she becomes a brilliant student, excelling at subject after subject, and eventually breaking free of the family that has always misunderstood her. But her troubles don’t end there. After falling in love with a married man more than twice her age, she has her heart broken when he refuses to divorce his wife. In her hurt, she flees to Chile where she befriends Pablo Neruda, before heading to Europe where she falls in with a trio of mysterious aristocratic intellectuals dabbling in black magic. After her estate is appropriated by the Peronist government, Chela goes in search of her great aunt in Sicily where she embarks upon a passionate affair, goes treasure hunting with local sailors, and discovers an old family relic.
We, the Casertas is a wild, unpredictable novel about the horrors of family life and the desperate loneliness of womanhood in the mid-century.
