Seven Women in a Week
Seven Women in a Week turns an intimate mourning into a disturbing investigation. At the wake of a celebrated cartoonist, his widow discovers a hidden note in the dead man’s pocket and entrusts an unthinkable task to a former lover: to interview the women who secretly shared her husband’s life.
Using this sentimental mystery as a starting point, Gustavo Rodríguez paints a vivid portrait of contemporary Peru — a country still divided by geography, race, and class. This novel, originally published in 2010 and reissued in 2025, explores grief as spectacle, desire as a contested terrain, and the impossibility of capturing an entire life within a single version of the truth.
