Can beauty emerge after horror? Is peace possible after extreme revenge? The characters in these stories, as disturbing as they are beautiful, as disturbing as they are endowed with a fierce sensitivity, aspire to calm, to live without fear, to have a landscape to call home, clinging to their notion of what happiness, freedom, and love should be, without any possible betrayal. With the certainty that the affection once shown them must last forever. But what happens when their expectations are frustrated? What if trust is broken? Where are the shared ideas of morality and justice? This new book by Pilar Adón, in which she displays the literary firmness to which her readers are accustomed, takes us to the territories of the angel-like monster. To scenarios in which innocence, affection, and intimacy seem to reign, but which soon reveal themselves to be dominated by hostility and transgression. With a high concept of friendship, the protagonists humiliate, hurt and kill, relying on rules imposed by them that must be followed. Then they can end up in a well or wandering through a wasteland with a lost look, devoured by themselves or locked in a house. And we, at their side, witness the corruption of paradise, the relentless battle between candor and the terrible, serenity and ferocity, equally looking out over the immensity of the abyss.
