ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A love that comes as a surprise. An incomprehensible breakup. Two sides of the same coin. How can the brightest, happiest love turn into violence that wounds, into an absence that hurts?

The anonymous protagonist of this novel has been expelled from the life of the person she loves. While living a happy, stable relationship with a man, she discovered the truest and most complete love in a woman.

Without hesitation, she took the risk and plunged into a romance that would last more than a decade. But happiness blinded her to the day the breakup would arrive--and to the fact that it would bring not only loneliness, but a profound fear. Fear that the beloved might now become her worst enemy. A present fear that awakens older ones: exiles, disappearances, violence. Fears that are her own, and fears inherited from others.

Alone, enclosed within her thoughts, she revisits scenes from the past. The joy she once felt offers no comfort; instead, it cuts with subtlety. Memories ache, photographs become fragments of memory--pieces she must gather and store away in some corner in order to move forward.
