The Rooftop

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Trias deftly turns her brief fiction into universal parable." -Shelf Awareness

"An exceptional novel." -ABC Cultural

"Like a constrictor slowly suffocating its prey, Trias already has you well within her grasp long before you even know what's happening." -Jeremy Garber, Powell's Bookshop

"A chilling tour-de-force by one of the most exciting and subversive voices writing today in Latin America." -Morning Star

"A short and powerful read, it demands to be re-read and scrutinised." -Lunate

"what is most striking about the book is the intensity of the claustrophobia and paranoia" -The Publishing Post

"Many read Rooftop like a disturbing love story between a father and his daughter, but this novel is much more than that. It is the genesis of the themes that will be at the centre of everything that Trias would move on to write: fear, violence, loss and freedom." -WMagazin

"Masterfully written, with a simplicity and honesty that reminds us of the prose of Flannery O'Connor." -Revista de Letras
