In The End (Koniec)

Metaphysical and blasphemous novel about the tragedy of war that never meets a clean end with a peace treaty. The war goes on, residing within its victims who carry it from one generation to the next. Malwina, an exceptionally sensitive girl, experiences her grandmother’s wartime memories in her dreams. This makes her exist in two parallel realities at once: the 1940s Eastern borderlands and Siberia along the 1990s Poland. Those realities seep and bleed through one another, making Malwina a catcher of her survivor grandmother’s dreams, or perhaps a dybbuk who gives voice to the dead. To Malwina, the war persists, haunting her day and night alike. Poignant and piercing, Koniec is an impressively well-crafted prose.

Brooklyn-Barakaldo

¿Guardar silencio y ser cómplice? ¿O acudir a la justicia y temer venganza? Mateo vuelve a la casa familiar en Madrid después de haber sido despedido del estudio de arquitectura en el que trabajaba en Barcelona. Cuando por azar encuentra una pistola entre las pertenencias de Juan, su padre, sospecha que este tuvo relación con un atentado de ETA ocurrido hace veinte años en el barrio. En paralelo, el lector conocerá la historia de Malen, que, en el 2000, planificó el asesinato de un juez en el mismo barrio de Juan y Mateo, pero cuya ejecución tuvo un desenlace inesperado. La investigación de Mateo por conocer la verdad le llevará a desentrañar secretos ocultos que podrían desmontar sin remedio los pilares de su vida y de las personas que quiere. Basándose en un atentado real de hace veinticinco años en Madrid, Antonio Lleras reflexiona en su primera y emocionante novela sobre la redención y la posibilidad de cambiar de vida. Y sobre cómo décadas después del fin de ETA víctimas y verdugos tratan de reconstruir sus vidas tras un pasado común de violencia y venganza.
