Book Description

Coleccion Maxi May 1, 2007
Juan Olmedo y Sara Gomez son dos extraños que se instalan a principios de agosto en una urbanizacion de la costa gaditana dispuestos a reiniciar sus vidas. Pronto sabemos que ambos arrastran un pasado bien diferente en Madrid. Sin buscarlo, «abocados a convivir como los unicos supervivientes de un naufragio», intercambiaran confidencias y camaraderias gracias a la inesperada complicidad que propicia compartir una asistenta, Maribel, y el cuidado de los niños. Sara, hija de padres menesterosos, que vivio una «singular infancia de vida prestada» con su madrina en el barrio de Salamanca, sufre el estigma de quien lo tuvo todo y luego lo perdio. Juan Olmedo, por su parte, huye de otras injusticias: la de una tragedia familiar y un amor secreto y torturante, que han estado a punto de arruinar su vida. Como el poniente y el levante, esos aires dificiles que soplan bonancibles o borrascosos en la costa atlantica, sus existencias parecen agitarse al dictado de un destino inhospito, pero ellos afirman su voluntad ferrea de encauzarlo a su favor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Difficult airs, May 12, 2006
By 
This Spanish novelist writes mainly about her generation and how people have developed and become matures. There are various stories which meet. Some very real people with their different biographies meet and form a kind of family. It is a long story, but interesting.
