La ausencia que me dejaste

War reporter Sylvie covers the war in Palestine when she meets Bilal, with whom she lives an intense and passionate love. Two years later, away from her job, she must face the past, not only to overcome the hard experiences that her job entailed, but also to put an end to her unfinished romance and be able to continue with the life of she. Mercedes Lezcano builds a novel that combines intimate confession and political-social testimony. Set during the 2018 "yellow vest" revolt in France and in the midst of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, The Absence You Left Me presents us with two lovers separated by a world sinking into social instability, discrimination and the recklessness of the politicians.
