Overview
«Si uno está enamorado de verdad, hasta en las almas más libres y salvajes y modernas late dentro el mundo antiguo y su viejo reloj de los instintos primarios, entre ellos el más importante de todos: la supervivencia de la pareja, el miedo a perderla».
¿Qué harías si la mujer de la que estás enamorado te confía que ve fantasmas? Valentina Barreiro y el narrador de esta historia se conocieron en la adolescencia y han compartido un secreto toda su vida. Cerca ya de los cuarenta, Valentina es una actriz de éxito y él un hombre despechado y sin fortuna. Un hombre que ya solo la ama como puede. Únicamente entonces, cuando ya es tarde, llegarán a conocerse de verdad. Esta es una historia sobre la belleza de todo aquello que no tiene explicación. Una novela sobre la dificultad y la emoción de no poder comprender todo lo que nos ocurre.
«Jabois escribe en estado de gracia». Laura Barrachina, El Ojo Crítico
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“When it comes to true love, even the freest, wildest and most modern souls feel the pull of primordial and basic instincts, chief among them the survival of the couple, the fear of losing one’s partner.”
What would you do if the woman you love told you she sees ghosts? Valentina Barreiro and the narrator of this story have known each other since they were teenagers and have shared a secret all that time. Now they are nearing forty and while Valentina is a successful actress, he is penniless and resentful. Only then, when it’s almost too late, do they truly begin to understand each other. This is a story about the beauty of the inexplicable, and the challenge and thrill of not being able to fully comprehend all that happens to us.
