La promesa
(Book)

"Una mujer se inclina sobre la baranda de un transatlántico para recoger un broche y cae accidentalmente por la borda. Mientras el barco se aleja, hace una promesa a Santa Rita, la "abogada de lo imposible": si logra salvarse, escribirá la historia de su vida. Personas y lugares desfilan ante sus ojos formando un "diccionario de recuerdos" a menudo crueles o perturbadores, mientras el mar la rodea con toda su furia. Poco a poco, la imaginación de la náufraga empieza a jugar con esas imágenes del pasado como si quisiera distraerla de los peligros que la acechan, hasta que las fronteras entre lo vivido y lo soñado se desdibujan en una narración que va tornándose cada vez más exuberante, más poética, a medida que se vislumbra el final." --,Back cover.

"A woman leans over the railing of an ocean liner to pick up a brooch and accidentally falls overboard. As the ship moves away, she makes a promise to Saint Rita, the "lawyer of the impossible": if she manages to save herself, she will write history. of her life. People and places parade before her eyes, forming a "dictionary of memories" that are often cruel or disturbing, while the sea surrounds her with all its fury. Little by little, the castaway's imagination begins to play with those images of the past as if it wanted to distract her from the dangers that threaten her, until the borders between what she lived and what she dreamed are blurred in a narrative that becomes increasingly exuberant, more poetic, as the end comes into view." --,Back cover.
