- Summary:
- "En su entrañable nueva novela, Ethel Krauze nos lleva por un viaje en el tiempo a las décadas centrales del siglo XX en la Ciudad de México. Desde la voz de una narradora genial y ocurrente que nos permite asomarnos con su inocencia a los secretos de la casa, nos envolvemos en sus perplejidades y descubrimientos, mientras ella va teniendo que cruzar las puertas, físicas y simbólicas, de su última infancia a su plena adolescencia. En este camino la acompañan una abuela eternamente presente, la madre con sus propios vaivenes, el padre con sus miradas de trueno y los hermanos mayores en sus apasionadas e irreverentes búsquedas. Aparece también el primer amor y mil aventurasque se desdoblan en un lenguaje poético y desembocan en un momento revolucionario y parteaguas de la historia nacional: elmovimiento estudiantil de 1968. Con anécdotas memorables y una singular perspectiva que mezcla la fantasía con un registro realista, casi teatral, esta obra confirma a su autora como una de las voces imprescindibles de la narrativa contemporánea y dibuja el paisaje de una sociedad que empezaba a despegar sus alas hacia el amplio territorio de su futuro." -- Back cover.
- "In her endearing new novel, Ethel Krauze takes us on a journey through time to the central decades of the 20th century in Mexico City. From the voice of a brilliant and witty narrator who allows us to peer with her innocence into the secrets of the house, we become involved in her perplexities and discoveries, while she has to cross the doors, physical and symbolic, from her late childhood to her full adolescence. On this path she is accompanied by an eternally present grandmother, the mother with her own swings, the father with his thunderous gazes and the older brothers in their passionate and irreverent searches. First love and a thousand adventures also appear that unfold in a poetic language and lead to a revolutionary moment and a turning point in national history: the student movement of 1968. With memorable anecdotes and a unique perspective that mixes fantasy with a realistic, almost theatrical register, this work confirms its author as one of the essential voices of the contemporary narrative and draws the landscape of a society that was beginning to take off its wings towards the broad territory of its future." -- Back cover.
