Description
In the House of the Sacred Sisterhood, the unworthy live in fear of the Superior Sister's whip. Seething with resentment, they plot against each other and await who will ascend to the level of the Enlightened — and who will suffer the next exemplary punishment.
Risking her life, one of the unworthy keeps a diary in secret. Slowly, memories surface from a time before the world collapsed, before the Sacred Sisterhood became the only refuge.
Then Lucía arrives. She, too, is unworthy — but she is different. And her arrival brings a single spark of hope to a world of darkness.
The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica tells a tale of survival and the thin thread of hope that can lead to freedom in the most oppressive of environments.
