Winner of the prestigious Herralde Novel Prize.An assistant in Buenos Aires' most prestigious boarding school, Maria Teresa's job is to keep the students in line. Suspecting that some of them are smoking in the school toilets, Maria Teresa takes to spying on them-an activity she gets surprising pleasure from.
