El invencible verano de Liliana / Liliana’s Invincible Summer (Spanish Edition)

The Invincible Summer of Liliana by Cristina Rivera Garza is a deeply moving and powerful work written in memory of the author’s sister, Liliana Rivera Garza, who was murdered in 1990 at the age of 20 by her ex-boyfriend after trying to end their relationship.

Through letters, memories, and recovered belongings, the author reconstructs Liliana’s life — that of a bright, courageous young woman who dreamed of freedom, travel, and a future beyond control.

The book is both a personal act of mourning and a feminist manifesto, denouncing patriarchal violence and femicide while giving voice to women silenced by gender-based violence in Mexico. It stands as a tribute to Liliana’s strength and a call for justice and change.
