Synopsis "Tomar tu mano (in Spanish)"

Cuando en 1992 terminó la guerra civil en El Salvador, fuerzas armadas y guerrilleros celebraron el triunfo. Si ambos bandos se proclamaron vencedores de la contienda, ¿quiénes fueron los que la perdieron?

Tomar tu mano explora respuestas a esta pregunta desde una coral de voces y narradoras sin nombre, que cuentan y se cuentan desde una experiencia de luchas y pesares compartidos. Hijas, novias, esposas, madres… con sueños y anhelos, que quedan atrapadas en un espacio doméstico donde sufren una violencia tan enraizada como la del conflicto armado, pero a la que nadie atiende.

Con esta novela, Claudia Hernández no solo revela algunas de las víctimas de la guerra salvadoreña, sino las terribles consecuencias que siguieron padeciendo durante la posguerra.

Claudia Hernández (San Salvador, July 22, 1975) is a Salvadoran writer known for her literary exploration of violence and gender inequalities in El Salvador. With a degree in Communications and Public Relations from the Technological University of El Salvador, she has dedicated her career to fiction writing and teaching writing.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Her work includes six short story books and three novels, among which stand out Roza, tumba, quema (2017), El verbo J (2018) and Tomar tu mano (2021). This last novel is part of a trilogy that addresses the female experience in the context of post-war Salvadoran, focusing on the figure of the wife as protagonist. The narrative is characterized by its choral structure, where women have no names, reflecting the invisibility and daily suffering they face.

Hernández has been internationally recognized for her literary work. In 2004, she received the Anna Seghers Foundation award from Germany, given to young authors whose work contributes to the development of more just and tolerant societies. In 2007, she was selected for Bogotá 39, an initiative that highlights 39 Latin American writers under the age of 39.

Currently, Claudia Hernández continues to be an influential voice in Latin American literature, offering a critical and profound look at the social and gender realities in her country.
