«Creo que desde Juan Benet [...] no ha surgido entre nosotros una prosa tan poderosa».Rafael Conte, El País
 
«Podrían besarse, claro, pero eso solo les aliviaría un rato [...]. Salvo que decidieran morir besando».

¿Podemos amar después de que nos hayan roto el corazón? ¿Cuántas veces se puede alguien enamorar como la primera vez? ¿Se cierra con el tiempo la herida de ese amor? Esta novela, protagonizada por un joven que vive su primera pasión, aborda todas estas cuestiones: la violencia torrencial con la que llega el enamoramiento, la falta de recursos del individuo ante la experiencia, y la huella que deja en el resto de la existencia. Una historia de amor y de descubrimiento que abarca casi cinco décadas en la vida de sus protagonistas y del país.

Con una tensión narrativa que encoge el corazón, Gándara recorre con esta obra el territorio en el que se ha confirmado como un gran maestro: el de la complejidad de las emociones humanas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The most thrilling novel by an author with “one of the most solid literary careers in the national scene” (El Cultural), and winner of the Nadal and Herralde awards.

“I believe that, since Juan Benet... there hasn’t been such a powerful prose amongst us.” —Rafael Conte, El País

“They could kiss, sure, but that would only relieve them for a while... Except they decided to die kissing.”
 
Can we still love after having our hearts broken? How often can someone fall in love like the first time? Does time heal love’s wounds? This novel, starring a young man experiencing his first passion, addresses all these issues: the cascading violence with which infatuation occurs; the lack of resources the individual has against experience, and the trace it leaves for the rest of his life. A love story and a quest that comprises almost five decades in the lives of its protagonists and their nation.
 
With the kind of narrative tension that grips your heart, Gándara wanders through the territory where he has proven to be a great master—the land of complex human emotions.
