"El Tiempo de las Moscas" is the new and long-awaited novel by Claudia Piñeiro, which takes up the story of Inés, the remembered protagonist of Tuya, in a story of courage and friendship that fully portrays us as a society.
Inés is released after fifteen years in prison for having murdered Charo, her ex-husband's lover. Her life has changed, but so has society: the advance of feminism, equal marriage and abortion laws, inclusive language. Inés, a traditional housewife and to whom motherhood was not something happy for her, she understands that she must be practical and adapt to the new reality. She even if it costs her.

She associates with the only friend she made in prison, La Manca, and they start a double company: she deals with fumigation and her partner investigates as a private detective. Like Thelma and Louise from the suburbs, Inés and La Manca face difficult situations, with the desire to reinvent themselves.

Until, unexpectedly, one of Inés's clients, Mrs. Bonar, proposes a very disturbing exchange; As a way out of the darkness of the past, the proposal may tip the balance dangerously to the unfavorable side. But it can also change their lives.
