La cr tica se rinde un nime:
He le do la excelente novela de la que mi viejo amigo me estuvo hablando mucho tiempo antes de animarse a escribirla. Desaf o superado por todo lo alto. Arturo P rez-Reverte
Un libro excelente. Alguien que comprende qui n fue su padre a ras de suelo (...) dif cilmente caer en la seducci n del resentimiento. Sergio del Molino, El Pa s
"Somos lo que vimos". El lector asiente ante tal afirmaci n deslizada casi al final de esta soberbia novela, una de las mejores que he le do en los ltimos a os. Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC Cultural
Una experiencia narrativa maravillosa. ngel Pe a, The Objective
Todo encaja y el silencio, la trivialidad y las inc gnitas que envuelven al padre obtienen para el autor --y para el lector-- su satisfacci n, aunque esta no pertenezca al reino solar de las certezas, sino a las tierras de penumbra de la ambig edad de la mejor literatura. Domingo R denas, Babelia
Una excelente novela. Jes s Ferrer, La Raz n
Qu novela maravillosa ha escrito Jorge Fern ndez D az Una historia ntima donde los secretos familiares permiten viajar al coraz n de una poca. Secretos del coraz n... Jes s Garc a Calero, ABC
Fern ndez D az es un buen simo escritor. Y esta es una novela preciosa. El autor se da cuenta de que no se puede contar el padre con los recuerdos ni con el periodismo de investigaci n, que solo se puede hacer con la novela. Que es maravillosa, una delicadeza. Yo creo que el Premio Nadal sigue por buen camino. Benjam n Prado, la SER
Acabo de terminarla. Solo dir una cosa: es una obra maestra. Mois s Rodr guez, Canal 24 HORAS
Fern ndez D az filma con este libro una gran pel cula con palabras y una magn fica novela de im genes imborrables. Tino Pertierra, La Nueva Espa a

Unanimous praise from critics:
"I've read the excellent novel my old friend spoke about for so long before daring to write it. Challenge brilliantly overcome." Arturo P rez-Reverte
"An outstanding book. Someone who understands who his father was at ground level (...) is unlikely to fall into the trap of resentment." Sergio del Molino, El Pa s
"'We are what we saw.' Readers will nod at this statement, slipped in near the end of this superb novel--one of the best I've read in recent years." Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC Cultural
"A wonderful narrative experience." ngel Pe a, The Objective
"Everything fits: the silence, the triviality, and the mysteries surrounding the father bring satisfaction to both author and reader--even if it belongs not to the realm of certainty, but to the shadowlands of ambiguity found in great literature." Domingo R denas, Babelia
"An excellent novel." Jes s Ferrer, La Raz n
"What a marvelous novel Jorge Fern ndez D az has written An intimate story where family secrets lead us to the heart of an era. Secrets of the heart..." Jes s Garc a Calero, ABC

"Just finished it. I'll say only one thing: it's a masterpiece." Mois s Rodr guez, Canal 24 HORAS

There's only one mother. But every father is an enigma. And every child needs to solve it.
A writer, part of the Spanish community in Buenos Aires, tries to uncover the true personality of his father years after his death. Marcial Fern ndez, an Asturian immigrant, like many men of his generation, struggled to communicate with his son--punishing him with years of silence and disapproval upon discovering his literary passion. The only bond between them was the classic Hollywood films they watched together, a sentimental education full of subtleties and misunderstandings that Marcial imparted indirectly. As the narrator reconstructs his father's story, he finds clues suggesting Marcial led a secret life--and becomes obsessed with uncovering it.
A profoundly beautiful and painful novel, written with great narrative skill and touches of suspense. It not only pays tribute to the Spanish migrants and the films that shaped our identities, but also delves into the deepest family mysteries and the often thorny relationship between loving fathers and sons.
