La naturaleza del deseo

There is no delirium more voracious than desire. It feeds on what it finds, what it knows and doesn't know, it grows best in the shadows, in forbidden sanctuaries, in insurmountable distances. S is a writer living in London. She has lost a son and with him everything that tied her to life, including her marriage. F is a lawyer and leads a quiet life with his wife in Santiago de Chile. S and F meet in London and from then on they begin to meet clandestinely in remote cities, while maintaining an obsessive long-distance communication. Together with F, she recovers the erotic impulse and the desire to feel, to love, to look out on the world. However, the kilometers that separate them and the ignorance that each one has of the true life of the other will lead S to face circumstances that neither in his dreams nor in his nightmares could he have imagined. Showing the lovers' sexuality in an explicit and bold way, Carla Guelfenbein explores in this novel the areas of the body and mind where desires are born and expand until they dominate everything. A novel that openly reveals the blinding power of illusions and the stories we tell ourselves to continue living.
