Overview

La esperada nueva novela de Lara Moreno

Un retrato insospechado de Madrid a través de la historia afilada de tres mujeres

«La escritura de Lara Moreno se interna en los abismos de la realidad. Maneja de manera magistral la inquietud, la desesperación, la extrañeza y el miedo. Una voz bella y poderosa». –Rosa Montero
 
En un edificio del barrio de La Latina, en el centro de Madrid, confluyen las vidas de tres mujeres. El pequeño piso interior de la cuarta planta es la casa de Oliva. Está atrapada en una peligrosa relación que ha transformado la pasión del inicio en una jaula. En el tercer piso, luminoso y exterior, pasa Damaris los días cuidando a los hijos de sus patrones. Cada noche regresa a su casa cruzando el río que divide social y económicamente la ciudad. Vino a España buscando un futuro mejor cuando un terremoto en Colombia truncó su vida. El mismo futuro que buscaba Horía, la mujer marroquí que llegó a Huelva para trabajar como temporera en los campos de fresas y ahora vive en la minúscula casa de la portería y limpia, en la sombra, las escaleras y el patio.
 
Esta novela cuenta la vida de las tres mujeres, su pasado y el cerco de su presente. Con una voz hermosa y afilada, solo la prosa de Lara Moreno podía cartografiar así un territorio y a quienes lo habitan, componiendo un retrato invisible, herido y valiente de la ciudad.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Lara Moreno’s much-awaited new novel.

An unsuspected portrait of Madrid through the well-honed tale of three women.

“Laura Moreno’s narrative sinks into the abysses of reality. She conjures uneasiness, desperation, astonishment, and fear masterfully. A beautiful and powerful voice.” —Rosa Montero
 
In a building in the district of La Latina, in downtown Madrid, the lives of three women converge. Olivia’s home is a small inner flat on the fourth floor. She is trapped in a dangerous relationship that turned the initial passion into a cage. On the third floor, in a luminous exterior flat, Damaris spends her days taking care of her employers’ children. Each night she goes home across the river that divides the city socially and economically. After an earthquake in Colombia ruined her life, she came to Spain looking for a better future. The same kind of future Horía was looking for, a Moroccan woman that arrived in Huelva to work as temporary in the strawberry fields, and who now lives in the tiny gatehouse and cleans the stairs and the patio in the dark.
 
The novel tells the story of these three women of their past, and the siege of their present. With a beautiful sharp voice, only Lara Moreno’s prose could map a territory and its inhabitants like that, painting an invisible, wounded, and brave portrait of the city.
