Synopsis "La Hermandad de las Malas Hijas (in Spanish)"

Por la autora de MUJERES QUE COMPRAN FLORES. Más de 300.000 ejemplares vendidos. No todas las mujeres son madres, pero todas son hijas. Qué le dirías a tu madre que no le has dicho nunca? Y si hubiera cosas que no sospecháis la una de la otra? Mónica entrena perros para la Policía Nacional, aunque siempre ha querido ser detective, y debe lidiar con una madre que llama permanentemente su atención. A raíz de la extraña muerte del paseador de perros del barrio, se encargará de investigar qué sucedió recuperando el contacto con su grupo de amigas de la infancia, ya que sospecha que sus madres ocultan algo. Se hacían llamar «las malas hijas porque no consiguen sentirse lo suficientemente buenas: una actúa como madre de su propia madre; otra se sintió abandonada por su progenitora; otra nunca ha escuchado que esté orgullosa de ella... Conseguirán reconstruir sus relaciones maternofiliales como mujeres adultas? Descubrirán el misterio de la muerte de Orlando? Estos enigmas se resolverán bajo mirada de los perros que paseaba, quienes tendrán mucho que decir sobre cómo manejamos las relaciones humanas. Tras la estela del éxito de Mujeres que compran flores, la nueva novela de Vanessa Montfort explora los complicados lazos entre madres e hijas con una historia emocionante, tierna, cómica e inteligente que cautivará tanto a unas como a otras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION By the author of WOMEN WHO BUY FLOWERS. More than 300,000 copies sold. Not every woman is a mother, but all women are daughters. What would you say to your mother that you haven't said before? What if there were things about each other you didn't know, or even suspect? Mónica has always wanted to be a detective. In real life, however, she trains police dogs and deals with the demands of her needy mother. After the neighborhood dog walker dies under mysterious circumstances, Mónica takes it upon herself to investigate. For help, she recruits her childhood friends, whose mothers she suspects are all hiding something. The girls used to call themselves "the bad daughters" because they never felt good enough to win parental approval. One has had to mother her own mother, one feels abandoned, and the other has never heard her mother say she is proud of her... As adults, will they be able to rebuild the mother-daughter relationship? Will they solve the mystery of Orlando's death? These enigmas play out under the gaze of the neighborhood dogs, who have a lot to say about human relationships. Following on the success of Women Who Buy Flowers, the new novel by Vanessa Montfort explores the complicated ties between mothers and daughters in an exciting, tender, smart and funny story that will appeal to both generations.
