| Annotation | "A storm that lasts for five days forces the four protagonists of this novel to stay locked up in Ana and Pedro's house in the foothills of the Andes. The roads are cut off and there is almost no telephone signal, let alone internet. The rain, which falls with supernatural force, seems like a punishment. Rebeca, their daughter, quickly develops feelings for Ana's nephew Vicente, who was born in Paris during his family's exile after the military coup, and who is in Chile for the first time. Separated by silence and secrecy, the family has not been in contact since 1973. The young man's visit restores contact, but at the same time hides a threat that could destabilize Ana and her whole world. She too becomes involved in an ambiguous relationship with Vicente: fear and fascination grow as the hours pass." -- Translation provided by NLS. |
| "Una tormenta que se prolonga por cinco días obliga a los cuatro protagonistas de esta novela a quedarse encerrados en la casa de Ana y Pedro en la precordillera. Los caminos están cortados, casi no hay señal de teléfono ni menos de internet. El agua, que cae con una fuerza sobrenatural, parece un castigo. Rebeca, la hija de ambos, rápidamente entabla una complicidad y siente deseos por Vicente, un sobrino de Ana que nació en París, durante el exilio de su familia tras el golpe militar, y que está en Chile por primera vez. Separados por el silencio y el secreto, la familia no volvió a tener contacto desde 1973. La visita del joven restituye el contacto, pero esconde, a la vez, una amenaza que podría desestabilizar a Ana y todo su mundo. También ella se ve envuelta en una relación ambigua con Vicente: el miedo y la fascinación van creciendo con el paso de las horas." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Contiene descripciones de violencia y de índole sexual. -- Violence and descriptions of sex.
