«Marta Orriols tiene la capacidad de fijar con palabras la fugacidad y lo imprevisto de las circunstancias cotidianas.».- Ponç Puigdevall, El País
«El odio y el amor a veces se acoplan en una sola bola, como gotas de mercurio, y de la amalgama surge un sentimiento pesante y tóxico y extrañamente añorado. Eso es lo que irrita. La añoranza, a pesar de todo.»
Paula Cid es una neonatóloga de cuarenta y dos años con una vida ordenada. Apasionada por su trabajo e inmersa en la rutina de una relación sentimental que se resquebraja, pierde a su pareja en un accidente de tráfico pocas horas después de que él la invite a almorzar para comunicarle que, tras quince años de matrimonio, hay otra mujer en su vida y ha decidido marcharse de casa. Junto al desgarro de una muerte a destiempo, Paula deberá hacer frente a la desdicha de sentirse abandonada y sobrellevar no solo el duelo, sino también el rencor. Una figura femenina que aparece en el hospital la tarde del fallecimiento de Mauro es la única que puede dar fe de que este hombre tenía ya otra vida... y tarde o temprano las dos mujeres tendrán que encontrarse.
Con su primera novela, Marta Orriols se consolida ya como una de las autoras españolas más interesantes de la actualidad. Sabe poner la lupa sobre los movimientos del alma femenina y llevarnos del dolor a la ternura, de la sonrisa a la emoción.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The first and much anticipated novel by a great author: the portrait a woman’s unexpected crossroads.
Paula Cid is a forty-two-year-old neonatologist with an organized and uneventful life. Passionate about her work, she now finds herself immersed in the routine of a broken relationship. She loses her husband in a traffic accident just a few hours after he informs her that, after fifteen years of marriage, there is another woman in his life and he has decided to leave home. Along with the pain of an untimely death, Paula must face the bitterness of feeling abandoned and she must overcome her mourning and resentment at the same time. A female figure who shows up at the hospital that afternoon is the only one who can attest that this man really had a double life ... and sooner or later the two women will have to meet.
With her first novel, Marta Orriols has proven herself as one of today’s most interesting Spanish authors.
