Description

“El día que mi madre se quitó la vida fue uno de los más felices de mi adolescencia… ¿Que si la odiaba? No lo sé… Tampoco sé si la quería. Hay muchas cosas que no sé, que no recuerdo, que no entiendo.”

Renata tiene catorce años y la certeza de que es feliz por la muerte de su madre: Sabina. Los lectores desconocemos sus impulsos y precisamente esa incógnita es la que nos mantiene enmarañados en esta historia que muestra personajes complejos, trazados con una pluma que sin duda sabe contar historias. Sofía Guadarrama Collado muestra de lo que es capaz un ser cuando los celos se convierten en su mayor motivación.

Con esta novela, la autora mexicana confirma que su imaginación está desafiando constantemente las lindes de un universo literario que no puede limitarse a un género —novela histórica, ciencia ficción, biografía novelada, thriller histórico—. Sofía ya cuenta con nuestra atención y complicidad lectora

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“The day my mother took her own life was one of the happiest days of my adolescent life… Did I hate her? I don't know… I don't know if I loved her either. There are many things that I don’t know, that I don’t remember, and that I just don’t understand.”
 
Renata is fourteen years old and is also 100% sure that she is happy about her mother’s death: Sabina. Readers are unaware of her whims and desires, and it is precisely that unknown what keeps us immersed in this story which offers complex characters and is traced by a narrative pen that undoubtedly knows how to tell stories. This innate author narrates what someone is capable of when jealousy becomes her greatest motivation.
 
With this novel, Mexican author Sofía Guadarrama Collado confirms that her imagination is constantly challenging the boundaries of a literary universe, one that cannot be limited to one single genre —historical novel, science fiction, fictionalized biography, historical thriller—. Sofia already has our undivided attention and reading complicity.
