Summary:
"'¿Pesara más un edificio sobre mi cuerpo... o una muerte sobre mi conciencia?' ¡Esta temblando! Un romance a escondidas. Un departamento en la colonia Roma. Los objetos se desploman, las paredes se agrietan. '¿Moriremos?' La escala de Richter es alta y la fatalidad, tambien. Gritos. El pavor crece y se quiebra; de las fisuras manan los recuerdos de ella que, aterrorizada, espera la caida. Como destellos de vida, se dispara el recuento final de una historia hecha de tantas otras. Se desprenden los mosaicos de sus vivencias, amorios, viajes, infancia feliz... o remendada? Matrimonios, divorcios, una hija sabia, genial y entrafiable. Existen los recuerdos o son visiones desesperadas de un aqui que se derrumba? El pecado de omisión y la culpa taladran la memoria de esta enamoradiza agnóstica, mientras crujen las entrafias de la tierra. El desafio que tiene por delante consistira en contarlo todo a riesgo de que solo las piedras y el polvo la escuchen. En esta intima y emotiva novela, Beatriz Rivas compone un collage de confesiones, pensamientos, desahogos, manias, banalidades y fantasmas que se entrelazan entre hondos cuestionamientos. Un rompecabezas para los voyeuristas del alma donde se unen placeres y heridas; un caleidoscopio de voces que gira concéntrico y revelador. Loque no he dicho es una expiación a la velocidad del miedo..."--Cover page 4.
"'Will a building weigh more on my body ... or a death on my conscience?' She's shaking! A secret romance. An apartment in Colonia Roma. Objects collapse, walls crack. 'Shall we die?' The Richter scale is high and so is fatality. Screams. Dread grows and breaks; from the cracks come the memories of her that, terrified, awaits the fall. Like flashes of life, the final retelling of a story is triggered made of so many others. Do the mosaics of their experiences, love affairs, travels, happy childhood ... or mended? Marriages, divorces, a wise, brilliant and endearing daughter come off. There are memories or are they desperate visions of a collapsing here "The sin of omission and guilt pierce the memory of this agnostic in love, while the entrails of the earth creak. The challenge that lies ahead will be to tell it all at the risk that only the stones and dust will listen to her. In this intimate and emotional novel, Beatriz Rivas composes a collage of confessions, thoughts, outbursts, manias, banalities and ghosts that intertwine between deep questions. A puzzle for voyeurists of the soul where pleasures and wounds; a kaleidoscope of voices that turns concentric and revealing. What I have not said is an expiation at the speed of fear ...
