ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An intense and disturbing story about love, rage, and desperation, between two opposing worlds.

By the San Clemente Award winning author, and runner-up for the National Novel Prize in Colombia.

The protagonist of this story receives an unexpected email from a former lover who awakens in her the memory of a past experience: when she was very young, she left her family home in the Colombian landscape for a while, and went to London to try her luck away from her country. There she began an ambiguous relationship with an Englishman twice her age. Soon, love and desire were pierced by this disturbing, asymmetric codependency that would ultimately leave an imprint on them both.

The Sky Is Empty is a coming-of-age story about sexual awakenings, about lighting a fire in a society bent on quenching it. It is about feeling invisible and out of place, about how we become who we really are and the things we must give up to get there. The novel delves on the loss of youth, on loneliness, the inability to communicate, the plight of immigrants, sexual blackmail, the endless search for a father figure, and love as a weapon capable of exalting human beings and tearing them apart at the same time.
