Las lágrimas saben por qué

A raw yet luminous story about the body, desire, and the right to be oneself. 

In a Buenos Aires inflamed by fear and crisis, Lautaro and Carolina discover that survival can itself become an act of love. The Tears Know Why follows the intertwined lives of a young gay man raised in the shadow of a military family and a trans woman from Salta who arrives in the capital in search of a body, a name, and a place she can truly call her own. Amid hospitals, cheap hotels, songs, police violence, HIV, and the streets set ablaze by Argentina's 2001 economic collapse, they forge a friendship strong enough to defy shame, silence, and social condemnation.  

A novel about bodies that endure, the families we choose, and the fierce beauty of those who dare to exist in a world determined to cast them out.
