Résumé
"With brilliant prose, Julia Rendón Abrahamson portrays the life of a separated mother in New York. A young Ecuadorian woman has a daughter with a Catalan banker and in the midst of today's broken society seeks a way to redeem… the family's emigration dating back to World War II from Nazi-occupied Vienna. A powerful repertoire of uncontrollable images of family memory leap into the consciousness of the day to day of a New York life marked by lovelessness, parenting, the search for a new life. Thought attempts to spin a discourse that functions as a protective blanket as a vital youthful impulse dominates her sexual, amorous and familial experiences. This is the novel debut of an original writer who creates a dazzling text for the power of the language, which emerges as if it springs from the deep need to name the world." -- Provided by publisher
