Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Alejandra’s life has narrowed to roles she barely recognises. Wife. Mother. Caretaker of everyone else’s needs. Inside, something is slipping, and in moments of exhaustion she sees her. A woman in white, weeping, watching. The presence feels intimate rather than distant, as if it has always known her.
As Alejandra begins to look into her family’s past, old stories surface that were meant to stay buried. Generations of women bound by grief, silence, and violence. The figure she fears is not a stranger but an inheritance, one shaped by loss and rage and the long memory of harm done to women who had no way to speak.
The Haunting of Alejandra draws on folklore and domestic unease to explore what it means to disappear inside a life built for others. This is a quiet, unsettling novel about motherhood, identity, and the ghosts that form when pain is passed down rather than faced.
