ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Two love stories cut short, one by life and the other by death.

D as sin t (Days Without You) is a story of complicity through time, that of a grandmother and her grandson. Dora, a teacher during the Republic era, shares with Gael the story that has shaped her into who she is. With tenderness but also with raw honesty, she confesses her emotions to her grandson, a young sculptor with a special sensitivity, and unknowingly provides him with the keys to recover from the wounds caused by a love cut short.

Through reflection and the lessons taught by melancholy, this novel traverses those paths that we all, at some point, must walk to understand that life and love are sublime precisely because they have an end.
