Summary:
"En 1992, la ilusión de un país en transformación alcanzó su punto álgido y nos hizo creer que lo teníamos todo ganado. Pero no. Ese verano, varios jóvenes descubrirán las sombras que se ocultan tras todo lo que reluce. Deslumbrados por sus sueños, Clara, a sus catorce años, se escapará de su casa en el extrarradio madrileño y se subirá a un autobús rumbo a Barcelona para vivir el furor de los Juegos Olímpicos y conocer a su heroína, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario; Polo cubrirá los Juegos como periodista, convencido de que tiene un gran futuro por delante, y su compañero de piso, Jaime, se embarcará en lo que cree que es, por fin, la vida adulta. Como en todas las aventuras de juventud, sus planes, tan cargados de ilusión, se convertirán en esa carrera de obstáculos llena de desengaños que no es otra cosa que madurar. En Lo nuestro, Enrique Llamas traza un retrato preciso, sutil y sensible de aquel sueño colectivo que terminó estrellándose, esa verdad implacable que es la pérdida de la inocencia." -- Contraportada
"In 1992, the illusion of a country in transformation reached its peak and made us believe that we had won everything. But not. That summer, several young people will discover the shadows that hide behind everything that glitters. Dazzled by her dreams, Clara, at fourteen years old, will escape from her home in the Madrid suburbs and get on a bus to Barcelona to experience the fury of the Olympic Games and meet her heroine, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario; Polo will cover the Games as a journalist, convinced that he has a great future ahead of him, and his roommate, Jaime, will embark on what he believes is, at last, adult life. As in all the adventures of youth, his plans, so full of hope, will become that obstacle course full of disappointments that is nothing more than maturing. In Lo Nuestro, Enrique Llamas draws a precise, subtle and sensitive portrait of that collective dream that ended up crashing, that implacable truth that is the loss of innocence." -- Back cover
