SHORTLISTED for the International Booker Prize 2022




After Rita's tragic death is discovered in a church she once frequented, the official investigation into the incident swiftly comes to a close. However, her mother, plagued by grief and a relentless quest for justice, remains determined to uncover the perpetrator. Through a poignant journey traversing the suburban landscapes of the city, Elena Knows unravels the intricate secrets of its characters, exposing the dark underbelly of authoritarianism and hypocrisy that permeates our society.




The novel delves into the lives of ordinary individuals caught in the grip of a repressive regime, where the veneer of respectability masks a web of deceit and corruption. Elena, a young journalist, becomes entangled in the investigation, navigating through a network of lies and secrets that threaten to expose the truth about Rita's death and the broader political landscape.


As she uncovers the layers of deception, Elena becomes increasingly aware of the personal costs associated with seeking truth and justice. She confronts the moral dilemmas that arise from her work, questioning the boundaries between reporting the news and becoming a catalyst for change.


Through her unwavering determination and empathy, Elena emerges as a powerful voice against oppression and a champion of the marginalized. Elena Knows is a haunting and thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity, a testament to the enduring power of journalism and the pursuit of truth.




In this captivating tale, Elena Knows offers a poignant reflection on the nature of power, the price of silence, and the importance of speaking up against injustice. It is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the complexities of our world and the urgent need for change.
