"The theory of archipelagos states that we are all islands, we arrive in this world alone and we leave exactly the same way, but we need other islands around us to feel happy in the midst of that sea that connects as much as it separates. I always thought I would be a small island, one of those with three palm trees, a beach, two rocks, and little else; I have felt invisible for much of my life. But then you appeared, who would undoubtedly be a volcanic island full of caves and flowers. And it's the first time I've wondered if two islands can touch in the depths of the ocean, even if no one can see it. If that exists, if among the corals and sediments and whatever anchors us in the middle of the sea there is a meeting point, then it is undoubtedly you and I. And, if not, we are so close that I am convinced I can swim to you."
Passionate, intense, heartbreaking, tender, the new novel by Alice Kellen, the author of already unforgettable novels such as "Nosotros en la luna," "El chico que dibujaba constelaciones," and "El mapa de los anhelos," is a beautiful story that navigates the territory of love, the most desired emotion.
