The laconic and as well violente way that Gallardo uses to write about the country –against a strong tradition that put it as a wonderful place came like a fresh new to this literature. The characters that live in Gallardo´s country have many troubles. Nefer, the main character of the novel, has been raped in a party, in lines where the writing of Gallardo, specially its use of metonymy is very brilliant, and she is actually pregnant. Her long way over her friendly horse to look for the woman that use to make the abortions, a secret that everybody over that land knows, is a great moment in Gallardo´s literature. Finnally, Nefer don´t have her abortion. She is under the rude power of his mother, the church, and the owner of the land. Enero is also a novel about power. They arranged the marriage of Nefer whit the man that had raped her. Justice on this country its very peculiar. However, a strong literature becames from that unfair world. En las aguas poco turbulentas del campo literario argentino de 1958, la aparición de Enero, primera novela de Sara Gallardo, significó una irrupción notable. Habría que empezar diciendo que el modo a la vez lacónico y violento con el que Gallardo dota al campo en esta novela incide fuertemente en su desarrollo. Coherentemente con esto, hay que decir que, a los personajes de la novela, puesteros pobres en una estancia, no les faltan los problemas: Nefer, la joven adolescente que protagoniza el texto, ha sido violada y no termina de decidirse a abortar. El relato de la violación, que se vale de continuadas metonimias, es un gran momento de la prosa de Gallardo, mientras que todo el periplo que se dibuja alrededor de la voluntad de abortar de Nefer (su cabalgata a lo de la “Bruja Borges”, su temor, los parientes que utiliza como excusa), da pie a una guía práctica sobre el aborto. Finalmente, el deseo de Nefer sucumbe a tres poderes concéntricos (Enero es también una novela sobre el poder): el que representa su madre, el que detenta la Iglesia y el que pone en juego la dueña de la estancia.
