The new novel from the International Booker-shortlisted author of The Remainder. Clean begins with an inescapable a girl has died. Told by Estela, a maid to a wealthy, middle class family who speaks to us from a locked room, we hear of her plight and the circumstances that led to this moment. As we enter into her account of her daily existence, we see how her apparently simple life turns into a repetitive and ultimately violent nightmare. Arresting, suspenseful and provocative, Clean explores domestic work, class and violence, set against the backdrop of Chile’s changing political landscape. It is an astonishing, electrifying novel that will confirm Alia as a major presence in international literature.
