«No me gusta hablar del pasado.
Mamá lo repetía a menudo, casi en un susurro, pero nada más decirlo empezaba a hacerlo.»
Un hermano y una hermana retornan a la casa de su infancia, al lugar de la felicidad, de los deseos y de los secretos prohibidos a punto de ser revelados. Los recuerdos luminosos se mezclan con los que irrumpen arrasando con todo: el tacto delicado del lino se mezcla con el tumulto que huye del ataque con gas sarín; los silencios dolorosos de la familia con el sonido de los insectos de montaña. Con la maestría casi artesanal que la caracteriza, Hiromi Kawakami vuelve a construir un mundo frágil y sensual en el que los destellos y las sombras se abrazan de manera única. Escrita tras la tragedia del terremoto y el tsunami que asolaron Japón en 2011, esta novela encarna, con todas sus contradicciones, el deseo de vivir después de la catástrofe.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A magnetic work.’ -Lire

‘I don't like to talk about the past. Mama repeated it often, almost in a whisper, but as soon as she said it, she began to do it.’
A brother and sister return to the home of their childhood, the place of happiness, desires, and forbidden secrets about to be revealed. The luminous memories mingle with those that burst out, devastating everything: the delicate touch of linen mixes with the uproar of fleeing the attack with sarin gas; the painful silences of the family with the sound of mountain insects. With the almost artisanal mastery that characterizes her, Hiromi Kawakami once again builds a fragile and sensual world in which glitter and shadows embrace in a unique way. Written after the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in 2011, this novel embodies, with all its contradictions, the desire to live after the catastrophe.
