Overview

La destrucción requiere paciencia, pero el derrumbamiento llega siempre de forma inesperada.

Una niña de nueve años espera ilusionada el momento más importante de su vida: su comunión. Tal vez entonces todo cambiará. Al barrio barcelonés del Carmelo, donde vive, llegará el metro.

Desaparecerán las incómodas obras que han llenado de agujeros las calles. En su casa, es posible que pueda cerrarse la grieta que separa a sus padres desde hace tiempo, provocada por los problemas económicos y el desamor. Y será un día en el que ella, por fin, pueda ser la protagonista. Sin embargo, unos meses antes, en enero de 2005, todo a su alrededor se viene abajo. Una muerte y un abandono dejan a esa niña y a su madre a la intemperie en el instante en que se abr e un socavón que engulle parte del barrio y cambia para siempre la historia del Carmelo.

Tejiendo realidad y ficción, Maria Roig nos ofrece un emocionante relato que es al tiempo personal y colectivo, íntimo y político.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Destruction takes patience, but the final collapse is always unexpected.

A nine-year-old girl eagerly awaits the most important moment in her young life: her first communion. Maybe then everything will change, along with the metro that is coming to her Barcelona neighborhood of Carmelo.

The construction workers digging up the streets will finally be gone. Her parents might reconcile, after years of a loveless marriage filled with financial problems. And she could finally be the protagonist of her own life. But a few months before the big day, in January 2005, everything comes crashing down. Death and abandonment strike, and a sinkhole swallows part of the neighborhood and changes Carmelo’s history forever.

In this skillful blend of reality and fiction, Maria Roig has crafted exciting story that is both personal and collective, intimate and political.
