One Hundred Guinea Pigs

Winner of the Alfaguara Prize Translated by International Booker Prize-winning translator Daniel Hahn "A surprisingly life-affirming read." — Financial Times Friendship makes life worth living. And worth ending, too. Eufrasia Vela is a caregiver by nature as much as by profession. But when she begins caring for Doña Carmen, a bedridden elderly woman mourning both her independence and her lost view of the sea, their relationship slowly deepens into something unexpected. Then Doña Carmen makes one final request. Warm, funny and quietly devastating, One Hundred Guinea Pigs is a novel about loneliness, dignity, friendship and what it truly means to care for another person. Rich with ethical questions and unforgettable characters, it is the kind of novel that sparks conversation and lingers long after the final page. "Warm-hearted, moving and crafted with skill and humour." — Claudia Piñeiro For readers of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Still Life.Author: Rodríguez, Gustavo,author
