Publisher's Note
The captivating story of a well-to-do, precocious adolescent girl growing up in Buenos Aires in the seventies. Luz Goldman, the narrator of No One Said a Word, grows up in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires in the seventies when Argentina is ruled by a military dictatorship. But politics is only peripheral in Paula Varsavsky's debut novel. Luz is more concerned with her emotional abandonment by her divorced parents, and the sudden, unexpected death of her father which leaves her deeply bereft. Precocious, alienated, self-absorbed, Luz and her teenage friends lead disaffected, self-indulgent lives, taking drugs and engaging in casual sex. By sixteen, Luz is pregnant. All this is told without sentimentality, in a stark, wryly humorous voice that hides the rage lurking beneath. A memorable coming-of-age novel, No One Said a Word is an important addition to contemporary Latin American women's fiction.

Industry reviews
"[T]he novel is a coming-of-age remembrance monologue of postmodern, alienated youth. At times I wondered, who cares? Does the author compel us to care, or am I obliged to care because she supplies such precise descriptions of family dysfunction, political chaos, and social breakdown...? When I am willing, I can sympathize with the young narrator....Luz speaks in a voice that is real and reflective of the hardened heart that the late 20th century demanded of its residents."
Bloomsbury Review - Marianne Rogoff
