Really dry cataloging of stuff here (for reasons, but that didn’t make it enjoyable). I still want to try Elena Knows, though.
I reviewed this book at Reviewing the Evidence. Here's a snippet: "This novel, set in an exclusive gated community outside Buenos Aires at the end of the 20th century, will feel strangely familiar to North American readers today. Cascade Heights is an eerily exact facsimile of any number of new suburban communities in the US, inhabited by people who are overextended and facing financial ruin in a slipping economy, but keeping the truth of their financial problems hidden from their neighbors and, sometimes, their own families. The community is a bubble of privilege about to burst, defended from the outside world by walls, armed guards, and deep-seated denial. "
