Synopsis "Clean"

\n
\nTHE NUMBER 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA CRIME FICTION IN TRANSLATION DAGGER AWARD 2025 'A masterclass in suspense' PAULA HAWKINS ‘A spellbinding nightmare’ FERNANDA MELCHOR ‘A book of intense power’ PHILIPPE SANDS 'A compelling book, with a tightly coiled power' PANDORA SYKES The shockingly compulsive new literary thriller from the International Booker-shortlisted author of The Remainder. Clean begins with an inescapable fact: 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 begins to sour, but would that drive her to the unthinkable? Disturbing and profound, Clean explores domestic work, class and violence, against the backdrop of Chile’s changing political landscape. This is one of the most daring and compelling thrillers in international literature. 'Uncomfortable and provocative … a chilling account' FINANCIAL TIMES 'I hardly paused for breath' ALICE SLATER, author of Death of a Bookseller 'Remarkable, gripping' SARAH BERNSTEIN, author of Study for Obedience 'Terrifying, explosive and exhilarating' KATIE KITAMURA, author of Intimacies ‘Beautifully written and profound’ LUCIE WHITEHOUSE, author of Last Witness Number 1 Bestseller in Sweden

Alia Trabucco Zerán is a distinguished Chilean writer whose work has been internationally recognized for its bold, thoughtful, and deeply literary style. Born in Santiago de Chile in 1983, Trabucco Zerán studied Law at the University of Chile, but her true passion for literature led her to pursue a Master's in Creative Writing in Spanish at New York University and a PhD in Latin American Literature at University College London.

Her first novel, "La Resta" (2015), is a haunting and poetic exploration of memory, mourning, and the legacies of the Chilean dictatorship. The work was a finalist for the prestigious Man Booker International Prize in 2019, establishing Trabucco Zerán as one of the most promising voices in contemporary Spanish literature.

She later published "Limpia" (2022), a text that challenges genres and norms, exploring themes of violence, class, and power from an innovative literary perspective. Her works stand out for their ability to question and deconstruct traditional narratives, proposing new ways to approach identity and history.
