Of loves denied

In a brilliant literary language and from a deeply feminine perspective, this first novel by Ángela Becerra, the Cali writer born in 1957, immerses us in an atmosphere of refined sensitivity, poetry and subtle humor. The love story told here, like the waves of the sea, lashes, caresses, licks, comes and goes in a coming and going of mixed feelings that immerse the reader in the tangle of sentimental contradictions. Love and heartbreak, continuity and passion, spirituality and rebellion make up the life of the protagonist, a total woman in her moment of greatest plenitude, but also of greatest emptiness. It is a story of life, dreams, ideals and searches. It is a delicious, fresh, imaginative and easy to read novel.
