Andrea Amosson es una autora chilena de mirada profunda, voz sensible y una capacidad extraordinaria para convertir la memoria, la historia y la experiencia humana en literatura viva. Periodista de formación, escritora por vocación y narradora por instinto, su obra se mueve entre la novela histórica, el relato social y la exploración íntima de los afectos, siempre con mujeres fuertes, complejas y memorables en el centro de sus historias.

Con una prosa elegante, cercana y poderosa, Amosson construye universos donde el desierto, la migración, la familia, la identidad y la resiliencia dialogan con la historia y la emoción. Sus personajes no solo habitan el pasado o el presente: lo atraviesan, lo cuestionan y lo transforman.

Andrea’s Quotes

“Escribe la frase, sólo te pido eso. Y el se anima a vaciar su pena en un archipiélago atiborrado de cristales de sal. Por un instante pienso que te amo, pero es una sensación efímera como una ola. Una masa de agua que crece con fuerza, pero luego se recoge, estalla y ya no existe. Una barca expulsada a los orígenes. La muda miseria existente bajo el sol.”
― Andrea Jeftanovic
