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.
