[Spanish] - Descarada: Una novela sobre el deseo y los límites de la fidelidad

"¿Cuáles son los límites del amor? ¿Cuáles los del sexo? ¿Qué es la fidelidad? ¿A qué somos realmente leales? Una mujer, que nunca revela su nombre, nos narrará su historia a partir de que decide ser infiel a su esposo, y nos sumergirá en las profundidades de su mente, en sus reflexiones y deseos. Sin embargo, lo que parecía una situación bajo control se convierte en algo incierto cuando descubre un mensaje en el teléfono de su marido. ¿Deberá delatarse y confesar su infidelidad , o seguir adelante a pesar de todo? Nuestra protagonista se debatirá entre el sentimiento de culpa, el dolor, la frivolidad y el morbo. Mediante sus hilos de conciencia, nos daremos cuenta de que a veces nos miente, pero también de que se miente a sí misma. Aunque a veces su voz es poética, seremos espectadores de cómo todo se desmorona a su alrededor al negarse a perder no solo a su esposo sino la vida que ha construido hasta el momento. Vonne Lara, quien obtuvo la mención honorífica del premio Dolores Castro en 2024, es una autora de una fuerza narrativa singular, que nos ofrece en Descarada un retrato inquietante sobre los claroscuros de la vida en pareja. «Vonne Lara mete las manos en la hipocresía para extraer belleza, y en el amor matrimonial para extraer el terror de la complejidad.» -Adrián Chávez"
