Overview

Una novela que retrata los miedos de la infancia y la marca indeleble que deja la orfandad, por una de «las narradoras mexicanas más sobresalientes de los últimos años» (El Gatopardo).

Óscar, María y Román se conocen en un internado que será para ellos campo de juegos, pero también un puente hacia la noche oscura del alma: ninguno de los tres puede evadir el dolor y todos comparten fantasías grandilocuentes. Juntos atravesarán la soledad y la orfandad, y se enfrentarán a la necesidad de tomar decisiones que les marcarán durante el resto de sus vidas. Después el destino los separará durante veinte largos años.

Para cuando se reencuentran, los tres son ya otras personas, tres adultos comunes con problemas comunes... pero en su presente y en su pasado hay nudos por desatar: la homosexualidad, la venganza, la culpa matricida, el amor soterrado. Juntos de nuevo buscarán respuestas tanto en sus circunstancias actuales como en los niños que fueron.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel that depicts childhood fears and the indelible mark that orphanhood leaves, by one of “the most outstanding Mexican narrators in recent years.” (El Gatopardo)

Óscar, María, and Román meet at a boarding school that for them is a playing field but also a bridge to the dark night of the soul: none of the three can avoid pain, and all three share grandiloquent fantasies. Together they take on loneliness and orphanhood, and the need to make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Afterward, destiny separates them for twenty long years.

When they reunite, the three are all different people: three regular adults with regular problems… but in their present and past there are knots to be untied: homosexuality, vengeance, matricidal guilt, unrequited love. Together again, they search for answers, both in their current circumstances and in the children they were.
