The first week it came out on the market “To be honest” earned the category of all-time sales record. The success motivated the publisher Penguin Random House Mondadori promptly order second and third reprints, which meant that in a short time a figure of 215 thousand books hit the streets and sit comfortably, for many, many weeks, at the top of the bestseller rankings. The incident occurred in 2019 and Cristina Kirchner he was planning his return to power. It was a different world, without a pandemic, but with a growing economic crisis in the country.
The latest judicial events involving the former president and the concentration of militants at the door of the building where she lives to support her seem to have revived interest in the book, which is seen again in the hands of the protesters.
They take advantage of Cristina’s visit to her home to make her sign her copy, and the cover of the volume can be seen again and again on the television cameras that record her departure and her return to her home.
The text, which was presented at the 2019 Book Fair, represented Cristina’s triumphant return to the political arena. As the former president commented, Alberto Fernández gave her the idea of writing it, and the inspiration was in line with the election of the presidential formula, which they would lead together that year. As it was made known, the proceeds from this kind of political memory and ideological program were entirely donated. The formal presentation of the volume served at that time to make an informal launch of her candidacy in the different provinces, a style of work that several politicians copied.
Currently, the book value is 4,399 pesos in bookstores portuguese
