Summary:

Tarantela is a novel in the shape of a galaxy: the center of gravity is a file that carefully records the last days of Jano's life, admitted to the hospital for having ingested rat poison. The narrator recalls the death of her uncle, which occurred when she was little, and discovers that the recent history of her family revolves around that event shrouded in mystery and pain, that the individual destinies of both her and her brother, they follow in the footsteps of a curse that precedes them. When is our personal history inseparable from the history of our family? In Tarantela, the narrator undertakes a search through the genealogical constellations, to reinterpret them and try to reconstruct the links that unite her with the people she loves most. While the poison stains the melancholic flows of this book, Abril Castillo looks for the antidote in brotherhood and in writing.
