Overview
incomprensible. Dos caras de una misma moneda. ¿Cómo puede convertirse el amor más luminoso y feliz en violencia que lastima, en ausencia que duele?
La anónima protagonista de esta novela ha sido expulsada de la vida del ser amado. Viviendo una relación feliz y estable con un hombre, descubrió el verdadero y más completo amor en una mujer.
Sin pensarlo dos veces, tomó el riesgo y se lanzó hacia un romance que duraría más de una década. Pero la felicidad no le dejó ver que llegaría el día de la ruptura y que ésta no traería únicamente soledad, sino un profundo miedo. Miedo porque la persona amada ahora puede transformarse en su peor enemiga. Un miedo presente que le recuerda miedos más antiguos: exilios, desapariciones, violencias. Miedos suyos y miedos que son de otros.
Sola, encerrada con sus pensamientos, rememora escenas del pasado. La alegría de entonces no la reconforta: la hiere con sutileza. Los recuerdos duelen, las fotos son ahora pedazos de memoria. Pedazos que deberá recoger y guardar en algún rincón para poder seguir adelante.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A love that comes as a surprise. An incomprehensible breakup. Two sides of the same coin. How can the brightest, happiest love turn into violence that wounds, into an absence that hurts?
The anonymous protagonist of this novel has been expelled from the life of the person she loves. While living a happy, stable relationship with a man, she discovered the truest and most complete love in a woman.
Without hesitation, she took the risk and plunged into a romance that would last more than a decade. But happiness blinded her to the day the breakup would arrive—and to the fact that it would bring not only loneliness, but a profound fear. Fear that the beloved might now become her worst enemy. A present fear that awakens older ones: exiles, disappearances, violence. Fears that are her own, and fears inherited from others.
Alone, enclosed within her thoughts, she revisits scenes from the past. The joy she once felt offers no comfort; instead, it cuts with subtlety. Memories ache, photographs become fragments of memory—pieces she must gather and store away in some corner in order to move forward.
