El amor es un juego sublime y una gran estafa.

Uno de los mejores libros del año según The New York Times, Kirkus Reviews y The Sunday Times. Por el ganador del Premio Strega, el Premio Castiglioncello, el Premio Comisso y el Premio The Bridge a la mejor novela.


Como muchos matrimonios, el de Vanda y Aldo se ha visto sometido a la tensión, al desgaste de la rutina y aún más, a la infidelidad, pero ha sobrevivido intacto. O eso parece. Porque si se mira con detenimiento, las grietas son evidentes, como las de un jarrón resquebrajado que pudiera romperse al menor contacto.

¿Qué estamos dispuestos a sacrificar con tal de no sentirnos atrapados? ¿Y qué perdemos cuando decidimos volver sobre nuestros pasos? ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias ineludibles de nuestros actos, para nosotros y nuestros hijos? ¿En qué consisten nuestras ataduras?

El ganador del Premio Strega, Domenico Starnone, nos ofrece una historia emocionante y profunda: el relato de una fuga y de un falso retorno.



ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year

A Sunday Times and Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year


Ties is a compulsively readable and provocative novel about marriage and family by one of Italy's bestselling novelists.

Like many marriages, Vanda and Aldo's has been subject to strain, to attrition, to the burden of routine. Yet it has survived intact. Or so things appear. The rupture in their marriage lies years in the past, but if one looks closely enough, the fissures and fault lines are evident. It is a cracked vase that may shatter at the slightest touch. Or perhaps it has already shattered, and nobody is willing to acknowledge the fact.

Domenico Starnone's thirteenth work of fiction is a powerful short novel about relationships, family, love, and the ineluctable consequences of one's actions. Known as a consummate stylist and beloved as a talented storyteller, Domenico Starnone is the winner of Italy's most prestigious literary award, The Strega.
