«Cáscara de nuez» is the novel by Ian McEwan, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (194 pages, in Spanish).
An eight-month-old fetus, unnamed, narrates from the womb how his mother and her lover plan to poison his father, a melancholic poet who owns a mansion. The unborn child witnesses the conspiracy as a privileged observer and reflects on the world while his mother drinks wine. The novel is a black comedy with thriller pacing and nods to Hamlet.
Original title: «Nutshell» (2016); this Spanish-language edition is from 2017. The novel was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award 2016 and the Europese Literatuurprijs 2017.
For book clubs and for those who enjoy literary fiction with dark humor, unconventional narrators and suspenseful plots.
