"Fearless and distinctive, this is vital reading. " —Publishers Weekly"Employing direct and crude language, López Peiró writes against the system, against the web of silence that tried to keep her quiet, and against herself. (…) A book that becomes a political act that forces us to look in places we would prefer not to."" —Casa America Catalunya"An exquisite book, a powerful political intervention. And so necessary. "" —Gabriela Cabezón Cámara , author of THE ADVENTURES OF CHINA IRON"The map of what happens to us, finally revealed complete. Indispensable."" —Brigitte Vasallo"A perfect and precise book that tackles macho violence and makes the picture that supports impunity emotionally palpable.” "" —Gabriela Wiener , author of SEXOGRAPHIES and NINE MOONS"Incredible expressive power. " —La Agenda"One of the bravest and starkest texts in recent memory." —Infobae"Those who immerse themselves in the pages of this novel will feel each word like a dagger. The author is explicit: she goes to the bone, writing without holding back. (...) This novel is a cry, a denunciation, but also a way of healing. Belén discovered the possibility of transforming pain and turning her book into an instrument of struggle, containment and support for those who don’t dare to make their own denunciation. " —Feminacida"López Peiró narrates the experience of sexual abuse that she endured while she goes a young girl. But she doesn’t do so in the first person. Rather, she does it through parallel voices and police statements which allow her to widen out a tragedy that in no case is singular. It is always plural." —Vogue"Why Did You Come Back Every Summer marks an inflection point in the chronology of autobiographical fiction." —The Washington Post"Crude, direct and without embellishment, Peiró’s novel has become a literary revolution that has put the wind in the sails of all the women who have been in her position. " —El Independiente"Avoiding stylistic fanfare and with the directness of speech, the book recounts the inside and outside story from both multiple individual perspectives as well as the legal report. Though it is a book that moves us emotionally, López Peiró never forgets that she is telling a tale of terror and her obligation to report the investigation. " —Revista de Letras

Intimate violence: sexual violence is very often perpetrated by someone the victim knows and trusts, and the reverberations of that betrayal go far beyond the inciting violation.Documentary instinct: including police reports and interviews, the crime at the center of the book has an official cast too, and another layer of exposure and distrust to overcome.Family bonds: the ties that bind here both protect and constrain, causing pain as often as they shield against it.Takes on the justice system: How does a young victim seek recourse when the perpetrator is family, and in law enforcement?No easy answers: the author's quest for justice is brave, but doesn't provide closure or a chance to erase the past. Just the opportunity to make her future her own.Marketing PlansSocial media campaignGalleys availableCo-op availableAdvance reader copies (print and digital)National media campaignTargeted bookseller mailingSimultaneous eBook launch
