Perfidia

de Judith Rossner · Publicada por primera vez en 1997

Madeleine Stern wants more than anything to feel loved by her divorced mother, Anita, who lavishes attention on lovers and on Madeleine's half brother while alternately abusing and ignoring her daughter. Sexually voracious and dangerously self-absorbed, Anita Stern competes with the teenage Madeleine in everything - achievements, looks, even young men. Madeleine's planned departure for college as she continues her affair with the powerful Geraldo, combined with Anita's threatened loss of control over her Santa Fe gallery complex, turn their home into a battleground that explodes into violence - and death.
