Overview
«Elvira Navarro es una de las grandes escritoras españolas de hoy. Una cirujana precisa y certera de las emociones más escondidas del corazón». –Manuel Vilas
¿Cómo se reordena el mundo tras una muerte? ¿Cuánto hay en toda existencia de reparación de quienes la precedieron? ¿Qué voces nos habitan?
Adriana, la protagonista de esta historia, afronta varios duelos mientras cuida de su padre enfermo. También se ha convertido en una voraz espectadora de la vida de los demás gracias a las redes sociales y en una tímida consumidora de experiencias amorosas a través de una app de citas, pero eso solo acentúa su sensación de estancamiento. El miedo a romper con inercias que han perdido el sentido a menudo proviene de los fantasmas del pasado, y el suyo acaba irrumpiendo ferozmente a través de una casa que una vez encarnó el universo entero y de una abuela y una madre que cuentan unos hechos trágicos.
Elvira Navarro ofrece al lector su mejor obra con esta novela en tres movimientos sobre la memoria, la lealtad hacia los mandatos de los ancestros, el carácter cada vez más espectral de nuestro presente y la muerte. También sobre lo que nos queda cuando los seres que amamos ya no nos acompañan. El resultado es un libro extraordinario, conmovedor y audaz.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Elvira Navarro offers us her best work yet: a novel set in three movements about memory, loyalty to the mandates of the ancestors, and death.
«Elvira Navarro is one of today’s great Spanish writers. She is a precise and accurate surgeon of the heart’s most hidden emotions». –Manuel Vilas
How to rearrange the world after a death? How much reparation is in every existence from those who preceded it? What voices inhabit us?
Adriana, the protagonist of this story, faces several duels while she takes care of her sick father. She has also become a voracious spectator of the lives of others thanks to social media and at the same time a shy consumer of love experiences through a dating app, but this only accentuates her feeling stuck. The fear of breaking with meaningless inertia often comes from ghosts of the past, and hers ends up breaking fiercely through a house that once embodied the entire universe and a grandmother and a mother who tell some tragic events.
Elvira Navarro offers the reader her best work with this novel set in three movements about memory, loyalty to the mandates of the ancestors, the increasingly spectral nature of our present, and death. It is also about what we have left when the people we love are no longer with us. The result is an extraordinary, moving, and bold book.
