What is Thursday Night Widows about?

<p>"An agile novel written in a language perfectly pitched for the subject matter, a ruthless dissection of a fast decaying society"—<b>José Saramago</b>, Nobel Prize winner</p> <p><b>The English translation of hit novel <i>Las Viudas de Los Jueves</i>!</b></p> <p>“Piñeiro’s clever U.S. debut.. . illuminates the hypocrisies of the country's upper classes after 9/11.”—<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p> <p>“Piñeiro is particularly skilful at exposing the social forces undermining Argentine society, and the fragility of personal relationships. We learn the surprising truth of the three men’s death in the final chapter; the build-up to it is riveting.”—<i>The Times (London)</i></p> <p>"Piñeiro builds up tension through banal, domestic details and the accretion of despair in everyday marital and professional struggles. There may be bloody murder at the centre of this novel, but the dystopia portrayed is an indictment not solely of an assassin but of Argentina’s class structure and the willful blindness of its petty bourgeoisie."—<i>Times Literary Supplement</i></p> <p>“A razor-sharp psychological and social portrait not only of Argentina, but of the afluent Western world as a whole.”—<b>Rosa
