Dicen los síntomas

XVI Premio Tusquets Editores de Novela 2020

Blasco, Bárbara

Although Virginia has never had a good relationship with her father, she feels obliged to visit him daily and to keep him company when he is admitted seriously ill to a clinic in Valencia. For her, obsessed with ailments, symptoms are more sincere than words. In that hospital room, her ties with her mother and sister are put to the test, precisely at a critical moment in Virginia's life, for whom motherhood is becoming an emergency. A new patient, an enigmatic and not unattractive man, then occupies the neighboring bed. At first Virginia hardly exchanges a few words of courtesy with him, but, little by little, the two establish a complicity alien to the asepsis of the hospital, and end up creating a small shared space, a place to shelter. And in which perhaps, when all is lost, something unexpected and authentic will emerge.
