Overview
De la mano de unos personajes tiernos, divertidos y cercanos, Eva Quevedo ha construido una historia deliciosa que rompe el tabú en torno a la gran epidemia silenciosa del siglo XXI. Con rigor, pero también con humor, empatía y altas dosis de ánimo, esta novela pone sobre la mesa una verdad incómoda pero inevitable: tenemos que hablar de la ansiedad.
Miranda ronda los cuarenta años y tiene una vida aparentemente estable, pero sufre de vez en cuando episodios de ansiedad. Por prescripción médica, comienza una terapia de grupo, aunque internamente siente pocas expectativas de curarse. Allí conocerá a personas como Mariló, a la que dejó sorda un desengaño amoroso y no oye a los hombres; Olga, divorciada con hijos, tan invisible para la sociedad que en ocasiones viaja gratis en los taxis y come de gorra en los bares, o Andrés, el hombre que parece uno pero son tres, con tres formas diferentes de entender la vida que casi nunca se ponen de acuerdo.
A lo largo de las once sesiones grupales dirigidas por Farah, la terapeuta del Centro de Salud, conoceremos a los pacientes y sus problemas, que van desde lo cómico a lo extraordinario, desde quienes sufren los problemas más surrealistas hasta los que, como Miranda, se enfrentan a una ansiedad provocada por temas no resueltos que flotan en la más absoluta y desconcertante nada.
¿Habrá remedio para todos?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Through a cast of tender, funny, and relatable characters, Eva Quevedo has crafted a delightful story that breaks the taboo surrounding the great silent epidemic of the 21st century. With precision, but also with humor, empathy, and a healthy dose of encouragement, this novel brings to light an uncomfortable yet unavoidable truth: we need to talk about anxiety.
Miranda is in her late thirties and leads a seemingly stable life, but she suffers from occasional bouts of anxiety. On her doctor’s recommendation, she begins group therapy, though deep down she has little hope of being cured. There she will meet people like Mariló, who was left deaf by a romantic disappointment and cannot hear men; Olga, a divorced mother, so invisible to society that she sometimes rides for free in taxis and eats on the house at bars; or Andrés, the man who seems like one but is actually three, with three different ways of understanding life that almost never agree.
Over the course of the eleven group sessions led by Farah, the therapist at the Health Center, we will get to know the patients and their problems, which range from the comical to the extraordinary, from those suffering the most surreal issues to those who, like Miranda, face anxiety caused by unresolved issues floating in the most absolute and bewildering void.
Will there be a remedy for everyone?
