Los astronautas

We all know from childhood which people make up our family and what are the ties that bind us to each one of them. Everyone except the protagonist of this novel, who was never told that she too, at some point in her life, had had one of hers. What happened in those years so that all the vestiges of the time disappeared? Los astronautas narrates the deciphering of that ecosystem lost in time: a photograph found by chance, in which she appears as a child with her parents, illuminates the reality of her family thirty-five years late. But she illuminates, above all, the deficiencies, the silences and the secrets on which she was forced to shape her identity. However, a story never tells the truth, but a truth...Laura Ferrero starts from an autobiographical fact to build an exciting fiction, at times heartbreaking, about all those stories that inoculate us in childhood about our own life and that we do not question until we are able to observe it from the outside. Just like those men and women, the astronauts, who had to go as far as possible, where no one had gone, to finally understand what was always within reach.
