A woman returns from voluntary exile in the United States to her hometown in Argentina, to the place she once called home. Twenty years have passed, and she neither looks nor sounds like the same woman. Even her name, her accent, and the color of her eyes have changed. The psychological distance that has developed in her consciousness and the perspective created by the passage of time allow her to return to that place, to the focus of her torment. Is it possible for a person to regain lost time? Can a woman change or fix a life that has been led into the alleys of escape? Claudia Pinheiro dares to ask this - the question of return that has accompanied literature from its beginning - and weaves the story with literary confidence, precision, slow craftsmanship, and a creative hand that does not tremble. This is intimate and poignant prose, capturing readers in the plot that she finds in the last word of the novel. A Little Luck is a powerful "melodramatic thriller." A power that lies in the way the story and characters are constructed, in the scattering of clues, in the planting of secrets, and in honest emotions that are told without the "shame" that characterizes literature that likes to call itself "high." This is a story about a boring town and a boring middle class. A work in which an ordinary woman speaks, speaking the flat landscape. The result is a novel from which it is impossible to look away. With a little luck, Pinheiro's narrative talent - first revealed to Hebrew readers in "The Widows of Thursdays" and "Elena Knows" - reaches its peak. "Hitchcock is a woman who lives in Buenos Aires." Antonio Dorico, "Correia de la Serra" "Her plots are bewitching with their wisdom" Natias Nespolo, "El Mundo" "Claudia's voice is made of silk. But pointed silk." Gabriela Gutiérrez “They say in Italy that Alfred Hitchcock is not dead, but lives inside the body of an Argentine lady. I wish we had two or three Claudia Pinheiros in our laps!” Marga Nelken
