No soñarás flores
Fernanda Trías

Short stories
In SPANISH

Twelve years after leaving her daughter and her husband, Teresa has returned and is now waiting for them in a cafe. A girl sits every night behind a bar and wonders why the night trains are so slow. A "swamp of loss" unites a group of people dragged by grief in the blind man's house. The characters in these eight stories, mostly girls, are about to sink. Their illusions are broken, they have no escape. The failure of the couple, the games of female friendship or the death of her father serves Fernanda Trías to explore fear, violence and, above all, loss. The author inhabits the world of stories in the same way that she inhabits the world of her novels. Stealthily, with a sober elegance. Delving into hopelessness, drawing a stark world.
