«Una prosa inteligente, precisa, sin concesiones . Kirmen UribeEn esta novela hay veranos, cigarrillos, piscinas, hospitales, caballos, azulejos, cemento, arena, cartas, plantas, fuego, vacaciones, amores, mentiras, verdades, verg?enzas… y tambi?n alcohol, que lo impregna todo, estrope?ndolo y deform?ndolo. Porque el padre es alcoh?lico. Y ella, la hija de un alcoh?lico. Pero qu? m?s hay detr?s de ese hombre que vend?a materiales de construcci?n y fabricaba muebles reciclando pal?s? A pesar de haber vivido en la misma casa durante muchos a?os, padre e hija apenas tienen trato. No se hablan ni se tocan, pero las miradas, los olores y los sonidos les sirven de v?nculo. Y el silencio, eso que no se quiere y no se puede decir, es m?s un campo de batalla que una fortaleza. En su primera novela, Eider Rodr?guez ha recogido los fragmentos de un padre para reconstruir, desde diferentes perspectivas y con un estilo brutal y descarnado, el relato de una familia, de una ?poca y de un lugar, sacando a la luz los cauces subterr?neos por los que circulan el amor y la vida dentro de los estrechos m?rgenes del entorno familiar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Listed on Babelia’s Best Books of 2023 “An intelligent, precise, uncompromising prose.” –Kirmen Uribe
In this novel, we find summers, cigarettes, pools, hospitals, horses, tiles, cement, sand, letters, plants, fire, vacations, affairs, lies, truths, shame… and alcohol, which impregnates everything, ruins it, and deforms it. Because the father is an alcoholic. And she, the daughter of an alcoholic. But what else is there behind this man who sells construction materials and makes furniture recycling pallets? Although they have lived in the same house for many years, father and daughter barely see each other. They don’t speak nor touch each other; but the looks, smells, and sounds, act as liaisons between them. And the silence, all one cannot and will not say, is more a battlefield than a fortress. In her first novel, Eider Rodr?guez has gathered fragments of a father to rebuild the story of a family, a time and a place from different perspectives with a brutal, discarnate style. The author brings to light the underground flow where love and life travel inside the narrow margins of a familial setting.
