There are love stories that make us confront our own fears, our own illusions, our own history. This is one of them.
Only when we face the past can we heal a broken heart.
When Alejandro met David, his smile seemed like the magic that could save him from himself. For years, they both considered themselves lucky, believing that the love they shared could withstand all kinds of storms. All except one.
He left Madrid ten years ago, leaving his pain, his heart, and David with barely any explanation. Now Alejandro is ready to face the past and David, who has not been able to forgive him, but neither forget him.
In a story told in two timelines, this novel is a journey through the history of a couple: the sweet beginning, the familiarity of routine, the painful silences, and, after the goodbye, the deceptive game of memory that we have all been forced to play at some point. Written with overwhelming sensitivity, Yago Gómez Duro shows us that only if we are willing to forgive the past can we begin to heal a broken heart.
«A debut novel full of sensitivity and delicacy».
