Overview

Una gran historia de amor con base real. Una mujer que rompió moldes y conquistó París.

«Una prosa que se lee con fluidez y gozo, pues convierte la más sabrosa plática de sobremesa en una pieza pulida del arte de novelar». -Cuadernos Hispanoamericanos

«Aquí somos todos palabras desde el nombre de cada uno de nosotros y las sílabas que se unen para nombrar lugares y, por ello, sugiero que titules Cochabamba, porque suena a tambor, a vocales de boca abierta, a paisaje verde que no conoces aún».
 
El agua de azar puede también danzar como humo de insomnio o conversación de sobremesa sin tiempo. Así nace la amistad a primera vista entre el diplomático francés Xavier Dupont y el escritor al que le pide escribir la novela de la vida de su madre, Catalina. Nacida en Cochabamba, hija de un potentado boliviano, oligarca adinerado y símbolo de la tiranía patriarcal, Catalina se sabe la mujer más bella del mundo y más aún cuando por orden del padre es transterrada a París donde levitará nubes de oropel, grandes lujos y codearse con Coco Chanel, Edith Piaf... y Albert Camus.
 
Catalina como Princesa de Cochabamba se vuelve la plus belle femme entre el tout París y protagonista de una novela que parecería cuento de hadas, si no fuera enteramente verídica. Una novela de vodevil y rumbosa, la vida pícara y noctámbula que nació en sobremesas para contar y contagiar hasta quedar en tinta con un ritmo que conquista al lector como una íntima celebración.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


An epic romance based on a true story. A woman who shattered convention and took Paris by storm.

“Flowing and easy prose that transforms the most delightful table-talk into a polished example of novelistic art.”-Cuadernos Hispanoamericanos

“We are all words, from the names we call ourselves to the syllables we join together to form place names. That’s why I’d like the title to be Cochabamba, because it sounds like drums, open vowels and green lands still unseen.”
 
The forces of chance can drift like the cigarette smoke of an insomniac or a lingering late-night conversation. Here, they come together to create an instant friendship between French diplomat Xavier Dupont and an author he approaches to write the story of his mother, Catalina.
 
Born in Cochabamba, the daughter of a wealthy Bolivian oligarch who is the embodiment of patriarchal tyranny, Catalina knows she is the world’s most beautiful woman, even more so when her father sends her to Paris. There, she lives a life of glamour, indulging in luxury and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Coco Chanel, Edith Piaf... and Albert Camus.
 
As the Princess of Cochabamba, Catalina becomes la plus belle femme in le tout Paris and the protagonist of a novel that would seem like a fairy tale if it weren’t based on a true story. A novel set in the era of vaudeville, frivolity and lavish nightlife, flowing from a conversation between friends onto the page to captivate readers with its intimate and infectious rhythms.
