Produktbeschreibung
A woman’s entire life in a single day It is a bright spring Saturday: April 11, 1970. The famous Argentine singer Sandro is about to become the first Latin American to perform at Madison Square Garden and Gloria will be one of the lucky attendees at the legendary concert. At just twenty years old, the young woman walks through the electric streets of New York. The disturbing images she recently encountered at her job at a photographic laboratory, the trauma of a father who was murdered when she was a child, and even the long-term prospects of her relationship with Tigre, her irascible boyfriend, are problems for another day. This day should be perfect and should last forever. Five decades later, Gloria’s son looks back at his mother's life and realizes that their youth, marked by their time in New York at exactly the same age, are not so different. In prose as sincere as it is sophisticated, Gloria opens a window into a woman's life and asks us to consider how the choices we make in our youth reverberate throughout our possible futures.
