A Little Luck
Claudia Piñeiro, Frances Riddle (translation)From the author of Elena Knows, finalist for the 2022 International Booker Prize
20 years after a shocking accident, Mary Lohan returns to the Buenos Aires suburb she escaped in a fugue of guilt & isolation. She is not the same—not her name or voice, not even the color of her eyes. The neighborhood looks different too, but she's still the same woman & it's still the same place, & as the past erupts into view, they slowly collide.
A Little Luck is the story about the debilitating weight of lies, the messy line between bravery & cowardice, & the tragedies, big & small, that can ripple out from a single decisive event. In a place she had determined to forget forever, both anticipated encounters & unanticipated revelations show her, & us, that sometimes life is neither fate nor chance: perhaps it's nothing more than a little luck.
