Clean by Alia Trabucco Zeran

CleanClean by Alia Trabucco Zerán
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

2025 started off poorly in so many ways, and I found it particularly hard to get settled with the right book until I picked up Clean. From the first page, I was hooked on the story, the mystery, the voice of the narrator who speaks to us from a locked room. Estela is a domestic employee accused of murdering the child she's cared for since birth. There is much on class exploitation and domestic tyranny, as well as a devastating scene with a dog, and the translation was flawless.

Now I've picked up Elena Knows also in South America with a struggling protagonist, a possible murder. Am I to start writing thematic recaps like my esteemed GR cohort?
