Summary

Una novela psicológica imponente en la que Katie Kitamura se acerca al thriller y al suspense para ahondar en la infidelidad, el impulso de conservar y la necesidad de dejar ir tras una separación.

«Electrizante. [...] La leí de una sentada, aguantando la respiración.».-The Guardian

Una mujer viaja a Grecia tras los pasos de su marido desaparecido. La pareja había decidido separarse, y ella deambula ahora por una región remota al sur del Peloponeso sin estar segura de querer encontrarle. Esta inquietante novela de suspense psicológico nos sitúa en un paisaje salvaje y estéril arrasado por una oleada de incendios, una tierra quemada por donde la protagonista rastreará los fracasos de su relación para descubrir que apenas conoce al hombre que una vez amó. En esta especie de limbo emocional, Kitamura despliega con exquisita precisión el descenso de una mujer a los infiernos.

Feroz e hipnótica, la historia combina el misterio con la introspección para diseccionar las emociones que emanan de una separación. La pena, el odio y el deseo se mezclan en una protagonista que deberá asimilar las revelaciones sobre lo que un día fue su vida conyugal. Por medio de una prosa intensa y perturbadora se mezclan el ambiente hitchcockiano y la tensión de los thrillers de Patricia Highsmith.

Kitamura firma una obra maestra sobre la infidelidad, el impulso de conservar y la necesidad de dejar ir; una novela fría y de combustión lenta que se lee con avidez y resuena durante largo tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK

Named a best book of the year by the New York Times, NPR, Huffington PostThe A.V. Club, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Guardian, Refinery29, Town & Country, Harper's Bazaar, NYLON, BookRiot.

“Kitamura’s prose gallops, combining Elena Ferrante-style intricacies with the tensions of a top-notch whodunit.” —Elle

This is her story. About the end of her marriage. About what happened when Christopher went missing and she went to find him. These are her secrets, this is what happened...
 
A young woman has agreed with her faithless husband: it's time for them to separate. For the moment it's a private matter, a secret between the two of them. As she begins her new life, she gets word that Christopher has gone missing in a remote region in the rugged south of Greece; she reluctantly agrees to go look for him, still keeping their split to herself. In her heart, she's not even sure if she wants to find him. As her search comes to a shocking breaking point, she discovers she understands less than she thought she did about her relationship and the man she used to love. 

A searing, suspenseful story of intimacy and infidelity, A Separation lays bare what divides us from the inner lives of others. With exquisitely cool precision, Katie Kitamura propels us into the experience of a woman on edge, with a fiercely mesmerizing story to tell.
