The daughter, by: Anna Maria Shwa

Impeccable precision and wonderful realism depict Ana Maria Schau three generations of women, against the backdrop of exile life and in a country dominated by political unrest, internal terrorism, and a dictatorial rule, where the events take place in Argentina, Paris, and America during a time period starting from the seventies of the last century. The daughter is two stories in one. She relied on a distinguished creative technique, where the chapters of the novel are interspersed with the author's diaries about the behind-the-scenes of writing the novel, revealing the doubts she experienced during the work's creation, and clarifying to the reader the references from which the characters and some coinciding situations with the course of the events of the novel were drawn. – With her brilliant handling of the text, Schau made us share motherhood’s joys and worries.
