Las costuras invisibles deals with the silenced traumas of a family, one that might stand for many Latin American families: those connected with intra-familial sexual violence. In the novel, Yeniter Poleo (Venezuela/Colombia) tells of the encounter between a granddaughter and grandmother. The domestic becomes the political, and what started as an ordinary weekend becomes a story that links feminism, memory and violence. The journalist and writer is also the author of La ciudad vencida, set during the Caracazo episodes in Venezuela, a time of great repression that left hundreds dead. In conversation with Lusdary Martínez.
