Overview
La nueva novela de Beatriz Cepeda (Perra de Satán) es una desternillante y emotiva comedia romántica sobre si hay amor después de la muerte.
Darío está en la cima del privilegio: es un chico blanco hetero de diecisiete años, está bueno y es inteligente. Todos saben que su futuro es prometedor. Y, lamentablemente, ese futuro no llegará nunca, ya que, durante unas vacaciones, tanto él como su familia sufren un accidente mortal en los alrededores del lago de Sanabria.
Morir así de joven es terrible. Pero pasar la eternidad en un sitio que no conoces junto a tus padres, que están a un pasito del divorcio, y tu hermana, una adolescente enganchada a Stranger Things, es una cosa insoportable. Por eso, Darío no quiere estar muerto y hará lo que sea para remendar su trágico destino. Pero, como no todo iban a ser malas noticias, contará con la ayuda de Lucía, una chica que puede comunicarse con los muertos. Y, al parecer, también tener un crush con ellos.
Mezclando la comedia romántica y el drama, Beatriz Cepeda ha escrito una desternillante y emotiva novela que, además de tratar temas como el amor, las relaciones tóxicas o los problemas de autoestima, arroja luz sobre un suceso prácticamente olvidado: la tragedia de Ribadelago, cuando la rotura de una presa mal construida provocó la muerte de 144 personas. Una historia original y adictiva que es también una llamadita de atención a los Gobiernos que gestionan lo que ahora se ha dado por llamar la España vaciada.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Darío is dead. Lucía is alive. Can their relationship have a future?
The new novel by Beatriz Cepeda (Perra de Satán) is a funny and moving romantic comedy about the possibility of love after death.
Seventeen years old, white, handsome and intelligent, Darío dwells at the height of privilege. Everyone knows he has a promising future. Unfortunately, that future will never come, because he and his whole family died in an accident near Sanabria Lake.
Dying young is terrible. But spending eternity in a place you don’t know with your parents, who are one step away from divorce, and your younger sister, who’s obsessed with “Stranger Things,” is unbearable. Darío doesn’t want to be dead and will do whatever it takes to change his tragic fate. Lucky for him, he has the help of Lucía, a girl who can communicate with departed souls and, it seems, even fall in love with one of them.
A blend of romantic comedy and drama, this is a funny and moving novel about love, toxic relationships and low self-esteem that call attention to a little-remembered tragedy: a dam collapse in Ribadelago that caused the death of 144 people. An original and addictive story that is also an exposé of the governments responsible for the phenomenon now known as “empty Spain.”
