Reviews
La crítica ha dicho... «El próximo bombazo literario. Les recomendamos que no la pierdan de vista. Dará que hablar.».-Álvaro Colomer, El Mundo «El boom literario del año.».-Daniel Arjona, El Confidencial Los editores internacionales han dicho... «Una novela intensa, conmovedora y radical.».- Gustavo Guerrero, editor de Gallimard (Francia) «Una de las novelas más interesantes que he leído en mucho tiempo.».- Juan Milá, editor de HarperCollins (EEUU) «Una obra de ficción apasionante y devastadora que te abre los ojos, realista a ultranza. De lectura obligatoria y de traducción tanto urgente como necesaria.».- Johanna Haegerström, editora de Bonniers (Suecia) «Una historia increíblemente poderosa.».- Angela Tranfo, editora de Stile Libero (Italia) «La novela se expandió por toda la editorial como un incendio forestal, escenas del libro nos perseguían día y noche. Esta es su inmediatez: el libro atrapó nuestros corazones desde la primera página. Un país al borde de una catástrofe (quizás algo peor) es solo el telón de fondo para los protagonistas que permanecen en nuestras mentes. Después de leerlo, impera el deseo de levantarse y abrir la puerta a los personajes.».- Hans Jürgen Balmes, editor de Fischer (Alemania)
Synopsis
SE PUEDE PERDER TODO. SE PUEDE EMPEZAR DE NUEVO. SOLO SI ERES OTRA. La hija de la espa ola, la fascinante novela debut de la periodista venezolana Karina Sainz Borgo, saca a la luz la desgarradora realidad de la vida actual en ese turbulento pa s sudamericano. Con libre intensidad, Borgo crea una narrativa inquietante en primera persona, que da testimonio de la anarqu a dist pica que ha descendido sobre una naci n alguna vez armoniosa y su gente. Llamando la atenci n en todo el mundo, con una publicaci n en m s de 23 pa ses, esta penetrante novela introduce una voz femenina esencial al coro rico de la literatura latinoamericana. Esta es una historia con vocaci n universal: el tema de la p rdida, la supervivencia y la culpa del sobreviviente. Adelaida Falc n, una maestra caraque a, fallece tras una larga enfermedad. Su hija Adelaida, de treinta y ocho a os, no tiene a nadie y vive en una ciudad donde la violencia marca el ritmo diario de la existencia. Poco tiempo despu s del entierro, encuentra su casa tomada por un grupo de mujeres a las rdenes de la Mariscala. Llama a la puerta de su vecina sin hallar respuesta: Aurora Peralta, a quien todos llaman la hija de la espa ola , ha muerto. Encima de la mesa del sal n, una carta le comunica que le han concedido el pasaporte espa ol. Adelaida solo tiene que deshacerse del cad ver que yace en el suelo y usurpar la identidad de su vecina para huir del infierno. La hija de la espa ola es el retrato de una mujer que escapa de todos los estereotipos enfrentada a una situaci n extrema. Con su primera novela, la periodista Karina Sainz Borgo, se ha convertido en la gran noticia literaria del a o. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Sainz Borgo's excellent debut is a harrowing account of one woman grieving the recent death of her mother while attempting to survive the political unrest in Caracas, Venezuela." - starred Publishers Weekly "A propulsively written, harrowing story, as desperate as it is timely." starred Kirkus Review "Borgo's beautiful prose belies the brutal reality of the breakdown in civil society she lays bare in this powerful literary look at strife-torn Venezuela." - Booklist It would be night in Caracas , the spellbinding debut novel by Venezuelan-born journalist Karina Sainz Borgo, brings to light the harrowing reality of present-day life in that turbulent, troubled South American country. With spare intensity, Borgo creates a haunting first-person narrative, that bears witness to the dystopian lawlessness that has descended upon a once harmonious nation and its people. Gaining attention around the world, with publication set in more than 23 countries, the penetrating novel introduces an essential female voice to the rich chorus of Latin American literature. This is a story with a universal vocation--the subject of loss, survival and the fault of the survivor. The day Adelaida Falc n buries her mother is like any other in the capital city--marked by revolutionary violence, economic deprivation, and an abiding sense of fear. Adelaida, who waged the best battle she could for her mother, procuring black market chemotherapy medications and shielding the dying woman from the worst daily realities, is now all but alone in the world. In the apartment she shared with her mother for more than thirty years, Adelaida mitigates her grief by reflecting on the more pleasant days of childhood, when life was normal and she and her mother were an inseparable duo that did not need the rest of the world's approval or help. But, in the streets outside the apartment, violence is a constant, and even duct tape around the windows cannot keep the nausea-inducing smell of tear gas from permeating every room. Like everyone in Caracas, Adelaida's daily attentions are inordinately focused on procuring the basics of survival, all heavily rationed and, when available
