Description

¿Cuándo se descubre en la vida que nos hemos equivocado? ¿Al final o al principio? Una elegante casa en un acantilado del norte de España, en un lugar figurado, Lobreña, es el paisaje inicial y final de este relato. Esta es la historia de Matilda Turpin: una mujer acomodada que, después de trece años de matrimonio feliz con un catedrático de filosofía y tres hijos, emprende un espectacular despegue profesional en el mundo de las altas finanzas. Esta valiente decisión, en este siglo de mujeres, tendrá un costo. Dos proyectos profesionales y vitales distintos, y un proyecto matrimonial común. ¿Fue todo un gran error? Álvaro Pombo ha sido consagrado como uno de los maestros indiscutibles de la literatura española contemporánea.
