About this listen
Esta novela narra el camino recorrido por las mujeres para conseguir el reconocimiento de sus derechos civiles y políticos y reconstruye, con mirada exquisita y atenta, un período clave de la historia argentina que nos permite entender mejor el presente y la razón por la cual nuestra tierra fue y es tierra fértil de talentos e impulsos de cambio.
1910. Buenos Aires, majestuosa y en pleno proceso de modernización, se prepara para el Centenario. Allegra y Fiorella, tía y sobrina, han llegado de Italia con el objetivo de forjarse un futuro en esta nueva tierra que parece repleta de oportunidades. La ciudad las recibe con los brazos abiertos y de fiesta. La primera vino por una promesa de amor y al poco tiempo se encontró al mando de un campo. Fiorella, lejos de sus padres, conoce a Julieta Lanteri, una médica luchadora por los derechos de las mujeres, quien genera un impacto sin precedentes en ella y con quien entabla una profunda amistad basada en la admiración y el respeto. Por otro lado, en Italia, Gianna, hermana de Fiorella, busca desesperadamente el modo de cruzar el océano y así poder dejar atrás una vida al borde de la marginalidad absoluta. Finalmente logra llegar a Buenos Aires, que la cautiva por completo.
De la mano de Julieta Lanteri, las dos hermanas inmigrantes se involucran en reclamos y congresos para conseguir la igualdad y el voto femenino. Amores cruzados, infidelidades, pasiones, dominación masculina, dan lugar a un femicidio, y el presunto culpable es recluido en la tan temida cárcel del fin del mundo.
Esta novela narra el camino recorrido por las mujeres para conseguir el reconocimiento de sus derechos civiles y políticos.
El susurro de las mujeres reconstruye, con mirada exquisita y atenta, un período clave de la historia argentina que nos permite entender mejor el presente y la razón por la cual nuestra tierra fue y es fértil en talentos e impulsos de cambio.

Story
Australia nació como una colonia penal. A finales del siglo XVIII las cárceles inglesas estaban llenas a rebosar, y, tras la reciente revolución americana, el gobierno necesitaba buscar un nuevo lugar donde deportar a sus delincuentes convictos. Así fue como eligieron una remota costa situada en el otro extremo del mundo, cuyas tierras había reclamado el capitán Cook para la Corona británica poco tiempo atrás, en las cuales no había absolutamente nada.

Fue en enero de 2003. En el buzón de la casa familiar apareció una extraña postal sin firma: en el anverso, la Ópera Garnier, y en el reverso, cuatro nombres, los de los bisabuelos maternos de Anne Berest—Ephraïm y Emma—y los hijos de estos—Noémie y Jacques—todos ellos fallecidos en Auschwitz en 1942. ¿Quién envió la tarjeta y con qué siniestra intención? Veinte años después, la autora decide averiguarlo y remontarse un siglo atrás para reconstruir el periplo vital de los Rabinovitch: su huida de Rusia, su viaje a Letonia, Palestina y París, y luego la guerra.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.
