be back with another book by Almudena Grandes. If I compare with The frozen heart, of course I'll stick with that, because it has become my favorite of this writer. But if I compare it, reading this book I found fascinating. At first I struggled a bit to get the hang. Anyone who reads this and has read the book will think: This girl does it say, if it is a simple book to read. And why not missing, it is easy to read ... but as he took the book from time to time, is a story with four different narrators, at first mingled with the characters.
; The story is about four women working in a joint project for a publisher. It is narrated in first person by each of them ranging telling his story, alternating chapters as forming, and gradually discovering details about their lives. When you read twice to the same narrator, you realize that the character is so well defined that you need not mention his name, some dialogue, to know who is four which is telling his story at that moment, and I loved that detail because I found perfectly the personality of each one of them. I really like this writer, and ease freaks me having to tell everyday things and to get get into the skin of his characters. One of the things that I envy the ease of it is having to tell an erotic scene. Before, when not writing, I never noticed this, but since I write and see how difficult it is for me to develop a scene like this, I admire writers who do it with such astonishing naturalness that I would like as if instead of writing really, was talking with a friend about sex, unfettered, without metaphors, without shame ... I admit, in this sense I am a bit prudish, and when I try not to leave me the words, I have a very clear picture in the head, yes, but I can not describe it on paper ... I suppose it's a matter of letting go, I dunno, I'll tell you or I will read if I let go (even if one day you see me porn give me too much brake as DGT's ... not going to release more of the account)
(This was from a review of mine ... and has ended up being a confession of my limitations ...)
I said, the book recommended by my taste and I discovered, looking for cover, there are also movie ... see it or do not know if not seeing, not to disappoint ...
