La Inglesa Romántica

Rate this book
¿Qué será capaz de hacer una mujer madura que no logra librarse de la férrea voluntad de su marido, de la rutina de la casa y de la tiranía de su hijo? En sus primeras vacaciones sin familia, anhela disfrutar de su tregua, intenta sacudirse el yugo impuesto por la sagaz observación del marido. Y el instrumento más adecuado, en los baños de Baden-Baden, es el joven gígolo que se hace pasar por poeta. Elisabeth Fielding quedará prisionera, como la mariposa en el haz de luz de un fanal. Su marido y su amante intentarán manejarla cada uno a su modo, sin tomar en cuenta los intereses ni los sentimientos de ella.

The author certainly has great writing skills. He also has a knack for subtly shifting from one speaker to another. So the book is nice to read, in that sense. In the end, howver, it proves too much, and it becomes painful, almots incomprehensible. The overwhelming sexed atmoshere is overbearing. There must be other ways to convey a story of a bickering couple. The writing talent is wasted on me.

Al principio me enganchó bastante la trama e incluso pude rescatar varias frases que daban a reflexión, pero luego al final ya era demasiado reiterativo y me pareció que tenía mucho relleno.
