Encuadernación

La autora más aclamada de las letras irlandesas, la heredera legítima de Edna O’Brien, llega a Seix Barral con una novela portentosa. 

Esta es la historia de la leyenda del teatro irlandés Katherine O’Dell: sus inusuales comienzos; su estrellato temprano en Hollywood y ya en la madurez, sus altibajos en Dublín y en el West End de Londres. La vida de Katherine es y ha sido siempre una gran actuación, con su hija Norah mirando desde las bambalinas. Pero esta historia de amor entre madre e hija no puede sobrevivir al pasado de Katherine o al daño que le inflige el mundo. La fama se convertirá en infamia cuando Katherine decida cometer un extraño crimen e inicie un imparable descenso a los infiernos.
