This is an automatically translated description

The latest novel (2019) by the popular contemporary Catalan writer Blanca Busquets (b. 1961) highlights the memorable events of 2017 in Catalonia, firstly, the terrorist attack in Barcelona and, secondly, the referendum on independence, and depicts the traumatic impact of these events on the psyche of people whose lives are presented in all the diversity of their inherent feelings, virtues and vices. The novel has no shortage of adultery, casual love affairs, and erotic scenes, and the narrative is centred on a kind of female deity, an image that combines the traits of a caring mother and an elite prostitute, a woman who understands life and works as a psychologist.
