<p>El esperado debut narrativo de la premiada poeta Sara Torres: una memoria sobre el duelo, el deseo y el amor entre mujeres, madres e hijas.\n«Un libro luminoso. Enhebra una búsqueda preciosa para narrar de forma única y diferente todo aquello que nos atraviesa y nos duele». —María Sánchez\nMientras su madre muere de cáncer en una ciudad del norte, la narradora hace el amor con una mujer en un hotel de Barcelona. Tiene un vuelo para visitar a su madre la mañana siguiente, pero ya llegará tarde. Poco después, su amante desaparece de forma brusca y definitiva. Cuando su pareja vuelve de Londres para instalarse con ella en un pequeño apartamento junto al mar, esta intenta ser la calma que sostenga la angustia de un cuerpo que llora a una madre y anhela a una amante.\n«Amar es amar siempre después de mi madre. No puedo hablar con mamá, tampoco con Ella. Mi vida se ha suspendido con la interrupción de esas dos conversaciones». La autora retoma ese diálogo en este libro para indagar en las aristas del abandono y el anhelo y tratar de entender a una madre que marcó la vida y las maneras de su hija con su arrolladora forma de amar.\nEl debut narrativo de la premiada poeta Sara Torres conjuga lirismo y honestidad para navegar el duelo, el amor y el deseo, su búsqueda y su pérdida. El resultado de la travesía es un mapa de las grietas que nos hacen humanos; una invitación a acariciar sin miedo los surcos que nos conforman.\nENSGLISH DESCRIPTION\nThe long-awaited narrative debut of award-winning poet Sara Torres: a memoir about mourning, desire and love between women, mothers, and daughters.\n“A luminous book. It weaves together, in a preciously and uniquely narrative, everything crossing and hurting us.” —Maria Sanchez\nWhile her mother dies of cancer in a northern city, the protagonist is making love with a woman in a hotel in Barcelona. She will catch a flight to visit her mother the next morning, but she is already late. Shortly after, her lover abruptly and definitively disappears. Her partner returns from London to live with her in a small apartment by the sea, trying to calm and sustain her, while she cries for a mother and longs for a lover.\n“To love is to love always after my mother. I can’t talk to mom, and I can’t talk to Her either. My life has been suspended by the interruption of those two conversations.” The author catches up on these dialogues, investigating the limits of abandonment and longing, trying to understand a mother who marked the life of her daughter with her overwhelming way of loving.\nThe narrative debut of award-winning poet Sara Torres combines lyricism and honesty to navigate grief, love and desire, her quests and her losses. The result of this journey is a map of the many cracks that make us human; an invitation to caress without fear the scars that make us who we are.</p>
