Publisher's Synopsis

En Altos de la Cascada viven familias que llevan un mismo estilo de vida y que quieren mantenerlo cueste lo que cueste. Allì, un grupo de amigos se reúne semanalmente lejos de las miradas de sus hijos, sus empleadas domésticas y sus esposas, quienes excluidas del encuentro varonil, se autodenominan, bromeando, &«las viudas de los jueves». Pero una noche la rutina se quiebra y ese hecho permite descubrir, en un paìs que se desmorona, el lado oscuro de una vida perfecta. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A group of friends who wish to maintain their lifestyle at any cost gathers on a weekly basis far from the fleeting looks of their spouses, who, excluded from the manly encounters, jokingly call themselves, "Thursdays' Widows." But one night the routine is broken and we are able to see, in a country that crumbles, the dark side of a "perfect" life. "An agile novel, written in a perfectly suitable language for the subject matter, an implacable analysis of a social microcosm in an accelerated process of decay." - José Saramago.
