Summary

La historia de una obsesión erótica es el descubrimiento literario del año en Francia: favorita de la crítica y los lectores, finalista del Premio Goncourt y ganadora del Premio de los Libreros de Nancy-Le Point.

Una noche, en una fiesta, dos mujeres se conocen por azar. Una vive su rutina de madre soltera y profesora con una pareja circunstancial. La otra es violinista, excéntrica, sensual y culta. Habla y ríe demasiado. Es Sarah.

A partir de entonces se suceden citas improvisadas, almuerzos, conciertos, lecturas, los cuartetos de Beethoven y la primavera en París. Hasta que un día Sarah dice: «Creo que me he enamorado de ti». Y se desata el amour fou, la pasión que quema a cada instante y que, como ocurre con todas las grandes pasiones, no puede acabar bien.

Voy a hablar de Sarah es la última gran revelación literaria francesa. Ha ganado importantes premios (estuvo a un paso del Goncourt) y ha sido comparada con Marguerite Duras y Yourcenar con su primera novela, hipnótica y arrasadora, que deja una huella indeleble.

«Pauline Delabroy-Allard pone en la página un acorde perfecto, una rara armonía entre dos mujeres. Bajo su pluma, el sexo en general y la caricia en particular se convierten, efectivamente, en un ejercicio, sí, pero con el sentido noble de una ascesis, capaz de dar a luz los escritos más abrasadores, la más carnal de las verdades.» - Jean Birnbaum, Le Monde

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Dying of love: that which doesn’t only happen to others.” –Le Point

 
The story of an erotic obsession is the literary discovery of the year in France: a favorite of critics and readers, and finalist in the Goncourt Prize and winner of the Nancy-Le Point Bookseller Award.
 
One night at a party, two women meet by chance. One is a single mother and professor with a sometimes partner. The other is a violinist —eccentric, sensual, cultured. She talks and laughs too much. She is Sarah. That party is followed by improvised dates, lunches, concerts, lectures, quartets by Beethoven, and springtime in Paris. Until one day, Sarah says, “I think I’ve fallen in love with you.” And it becomes amour fou, the passion that burns hotter every minute, and which, like in every great passion, cannot end well.
 
I’m Going to Talk About Sarah is the latest great French literary revelation. It has won important prizes and has been compared to Marguerite Duras and Marguerite Yourcenar with her first novel hypnotic, powerful, and sure to leave an indelible mark.
