El mapa de los afectos
Premio Nadal de novela 2020
Merino, Ana
Valeria, a young school teacher who has a secret relationship with Tom, who is thirty years old, faces the dilemma of feelings and wants to understand the meaning of love. In the town where she teaches, Lilian disappears for no apparent reason while her husband is on the other side of the world. Greg, a man who loses women, frequents a nearby hostess club to chase away his discontent, until one day he finds himself discovered in the worst possible way. From moments like these in the course of a small rural community, we delve into the daily mysteries of its inhabitants. The lives of all of them will not only cross each other over more than two decades, but will be conditioned by the magnetic force of affections, the randomness of chance or by the poetic justice that sometimes bring us the most unexpected events. The map of affections chases the trail of the people who build the hidden stories of the places; places where absences are evoked, strange events, where inexplicable crimes occur, one coexists with personal and family tensions and where only the drive of good sediments the necessary residue to continue living.
