Cousins - Aurora Venturini

Cousins is the jewel in Venturini's oeuvre - mischievous and stylish, vital and mysterious... and completely original. It is the story of four women from an impoverished, dysfunctional family in La Plata, Argentina. Neighbourhood mythologies, family, female sexuality, vengeance, and social mobility through art are explored and scrutinised in the voice of an unforgettable protagonist, Yuna, who stares wildly at the world in which she is compelled to live; a voice unique in its candidness, sharp edge and utterly breathtaking power.
