Amor capital
Karmele JaioWHAT IS REALLY HIDDEN UNDER OUR WAY OF LOVING?
The new novel by the author who has conquered more than 60,000 readers with her stories.
Martin just died. At the funeral, Olga, his lover until a year before, speaks to him from a church pew. During the ceremony she remembers how her relationship became something obsessive for her and how it collapsed the day Martín decided not to see her again. Olga begins to recognize her emotional dependence on him while she tries to discover the reasons that could have caused his death.
While trying to overcome the shocking event, Laia, one of her students, is writing her doctoral thesis: an analysis of the injustice of love and the way women have been taught to make it the center of their lives.
Alternating the experiences lived by the characters with the different representations of love in the artistic and literary works on which Laia's thesis is based, Karmele Jaio has composed an ambitious novel about the edges of our sentimental education and how it determines the way to face our relationships.
A novel that is read voraciously, but that leaves a deep mark and makes us question our way of loving.
