Dostignuv emocional'noy zrelosti, Karmen znakomitsya s krasivoy, uverennoy v sebe devushkoy. No pod vidom blagosklonnosti i nezhnosti vstrechaet manipulyacii i zhestokost'. S trudom razorvav obremenitel'nye otnosheniya, ona nahodit otgoloski lichnogo travmaticheskogo opyta v istorii kvir-zhenshchin. Odna iz yarkih predstavitel'nic sovremennoy prozy, v romane "Dom illyuziy" Machado obrashchaetsya k sushchestvuyushchim i novym literaturnym zhanram  uzhasam, mashine vremeni, nuaru, volshebnoy skazke, metafore, voploshchennoy mechte  chtoby otkryto govorit' o domashnem nasilii i zhenshchine, kotoroy kogda-to byla. Redakciya poschitala neobhodimym ostavit' v tekste perevoda sceny upominaniya zapreshchennyh veshchestv, tak kak oni vazhny dlya raskrytiya syuzheta i haraktera geroev, a takzhe po toy prichine, chto ih upominanie negativno okrasheno i ne mozhet yavlyat'sya propagandoy.
