Notes

Description
"Inés is released after fifteen years in prison for murdering Charo, the lover of her ex-husband. Her life has changed, but so has the society with the progress of feminism, the laws for equal marriage and abortion, and the use of inclusive language. Now Inés, a traditional housewife for whom motherhood was not a happy experience, understands that she must be practical and that has to adapt. Even if it costs her. She associates with La Manca, the only friend she made inside the prison, and they set up a double company where she carries out fumigations while her partner investigates as a private detective. Like Thelma and Louise from the suburbs, Inés and La Manca face complex situations as part of their new reality but with the desire to reinvent themselves. One day, Mrs. Bonar, one of Inés's clients, proposes a very disturbing exchange, a way out of the darkness of the past. The proposal can tilt the balance dangerously to the wrong side, but it can also change their lives. The Time of the Flies is the new and long-awaited novel by Claudia Piñeiro , which continues the story of Inés, the remembered protagonist of Tuya, in a tale of courage and friendship that fully portrays us as a society."--publisher's website.
Description
"Inés sale en libertad, después de quince años presa por haber asesinado a Charo, la amante de su ex marido. Su vida ha cambiado, pero así también la sociedad: el avance del feminismo, las leyes de matrimonio igualitario y del aborto, el lenguaje inclusivo. Inés, una ama de casa tradicional y a quien la maternidad no le resultó algo feliz, entiende que debe ser práctica y adaptarse. Aunque le cueste. Se asocia con la única amiga que hizo dentro de la cárcel, la Manca, y ponen una empresa doble: ella se ocupa de hacer fumigaciones y su socia de investigar como detective privada. Como unas Thelma y Louise del conurbano, Inés y la Manca enfrentan situaciones complejas de su nueva realidad, con el deseo de reinventarse. Hasta que una de las clientas de Inés, la Señora Bonar, le propone un intercambio muy inquietante; como salida de las tinieblas del pasado, la propuesta puede inclinar la balanza peligrosamente hacia el lado desfavorable. Pero también puede cambiarles la vida. El tiempo de las moscas es la nueva y esperada novela de Claudia Piñeiro, que retoma la historia de Inés, la recordada protagonista de Tuya, en un relato de coraje y amistad que nos retrata cabalmente como sociedad."--publisher's website.
