La mala costumbre

Portero, Alana S.

Narrated from a unique and heartbreaking first-person voice, La mala habitura covers the adolescence of a girl trapped in a body she does not know how to inhabit, who tries to understand herself and the world in which she lives, from her childhood in a family of working class in the San Blas neighborhood, devastated by heroin in the eighties, to the clandestine nights in the center of Madrid in the nineties. As in a bastardized version of the hero's journey, junkies, pop divas and fallen angels accompany her on a vital journey in which, in the end, it will be other women who help her overcome the violence she encounters at every step.
