Overview
Una novela luminosa sobre la lealtad y la convivencia.
En el portal 26 de la Calle Martín Vargas de Madrid, Lena, Hugo, Ramiro, Camelia y Jara han logrado convertir el piso que comparten en un espacio de vida en común. A sus cuarenta años viven juntos por necesidad y porque forma parte de su manera de entender la convivencia y las relaciones personales. Pero la situación y el carácter de Jara son más inestables: hace tiempo que no tiene trabajo y siempre vive en vilo. ¿Por eso se ha ido sin avisar y sin dejar nota de su paradero?
Existiríamos el mar es un soplo de energía que nos lleva a los caminos donde se unen la fragilidad y la fuerza, lo difícil y lo posible, los nuevos comienzos, y formas diferentes de perseverancia y de lealtad. Belén Gopegui ha escrito una novela osada y conmovedora de historias comunes donde lo más intenso no reside ni en lo más oscuro ni en lo más turbio, sino, a veces, muchas veces, en momentos de respeto, risas, charla, felicidad, apoyo mutuo o rabia compartida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Because it would be possible to live otherwise.
A brilliant novel about loyalty and coexistence.
At portal 26 of Calle Martín Vargas in Madrid, Lena, Hugo, Ramiro, Camelia and Jara have managed to turn the apartment they share into a common living space. At the age of forty they live together out of necessity and because it’s part of their way of understanding coexistence and personal relationships. But Jara's situation and personality are more unstable: he hasn't had a job for a long time and he always lives on the edge. Is that why he has left without warning and without leaving a note of his whereabouts?
We Would Exist the Sea is a breath of energy that takes us to the paths where fragility and strength, the difficult and the possible, new beginnings, and different means of perseverance and loyalty come together. Belén Gopegui has written a daring and moving novel of common stories where that which is most intense does not reside in the darkest nor in the most murky, but, sometimes, many times, in moments of respect, laughter, conversation, happiness, mutual support or shared anger.
