Memoria de la nieve

Rate this book
Memoria de la nieve es la intensa y desasosegante primera novela de la joven escritora gaditana Marian Womack. Un libro donde la nieve es una sustancia que altera la realidad y une a los muertos con los vivos.
Escrito con un ritmo intenso y con una prosa muy cuidada, la trama lleva al lector de viaje por el Oxford de los años 60, por el Moscú revolucionario, por la Siberia actual, por la sierra norte de Mallorca y por la Inglaterra profunda de la posguerra. Un recorrido que termina en la Antártida, el lugar donde todo es nieve y donde la novela alcanza su sentido último.
Una obra de alta carga sentimental, llena de personajes solitarios e inquietantes, con atmósferas de inspiración gótica. El sorprendente debut de una narradora atípica y excepcional.

lo de leer un libro con faltas de ortografía atenta contra mi paciencia.
quitando eso, que ya tiene, llamarlo novela es too much para ser en realidad una antología de relatos que no tiene que ver entre sí, que no comparten ni una idea en común y en los que encima va cambiando el formato según le interesa.
qué suplicio
