Overview
¿O acudir a la justicia y temer la venganza?
Despedido del estudio de arquitectura en el que trabaja en Barcelona, Mateo regresa veinte años después a su casa familiar de Madrid. Allí vive su padre, Juan, con el que ya casi no mantiene el contacto. En su afán por acercarse a él, Mateo se irá aproximando a un momento histórico de su barrio: un atentado de ETA ocurrido veinte años atrás.
En paralelo, el lector irá conociendo la historia de Malen, que se infiltró en el mismo barrio para colaborar en la planificación del crimen terrorista. La investigación de Mateo por conocer la verdad le llevará a desentrañar secretos ocultos que podrían desmontar sin remedio los pilares de su vida y de las personas que quiere.
Basándose en un atentado real de hace veinticinco años que tuvo lugar en Madrid, Antonio Lleras reflexiona en su primera y emocionante novela sobre las segundas oportunidades y sobre cómo, años después del fin de ETA, víctimas y verdugos tratan de reconstruir sus vidas tras un pasado común de violencia y venganza.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Keep quiet and become an accomplice?
Or go to the police and fear revenge?
Fired from the architecture firm where he worked in Barcelona, Mateo returns twenty years later to his family home in Madrid. His father, Juan, lives there, but they’ve hardly kept in touch.
In his eagerness to get close to him, Mateo will approach a historical moment in his neighborhood: an ETA attempt that happened twenty years prior. In tandem, the reader will get to know the story of Malen, who infiltrated the same neighborhood to collaborate in the planning of a terrorist act. Mateo’s research to find the truth will take him to unearth hidden secrets that could dismantle the pillars of his life and the lives of his loved ones.
Based on a real terrorist attack that happened twenty-five years ago in Madrid, in his first and exciting novel, Antonio Lleras reflects upon second chances and how, years after the end of the ETA, victims and executioners alike were trying to rebuild their lives after a common past of violence and vengeance.
