Este libro es una vida entera. La vida de Simón. Que abre los ojos en un bar, entre dos familias que no se hablan. Que crece buscando a su primo, aquel que le prometió una vida de novela y desapareció. Que aprende lo que es la amistad junto a Estela. Que ensaya en restaurantes de lujo las recetas que aprendió en el bar. Que se finge un héroe en yates y billares. Que se obliga a caminar hacia delante en viajes que son huidas. Que se enamora demasiado y mal. Que pronto se da cuenta de que los héroes no existen, las fortunas lo son por algo y las damas no pretenden que las rescaten. Simón. Que un día vuelve. Vuelve para empezar de nuevo, esta vez de verdad, la novela de su vida. Miqui Otero se corona con una de las novelas más conmovedoras y auténticas de los últimos tiempos. Una novela llena de lugares y personas a los que regresar. (Publisher description) This book is a lifetime. Simon's life. That opens his eyes in a bar, between two families who do not speak. Who grows up looking for his cousin, the one who promised him a life in a novel and disappeared. That he learns what friendship is with Estela. That he rehearses the recipes he learned at the bar in fancy restaurants. Who pretends a hero in yachts and billiards. Who forces himself to walk forward on trips that are escapes. That he falls in love too much and badly. Who soon realizes that heroes do not exist, fortunes are for a reason and the ladies do not intend to be rescued. Simon. That one day he returns. He returns to start over, this time for real, the novel of his life. Miqui Otero is crowned with one of the most moving and authentic novels of recent times. A novel full of places and people to return to. (Google translate)
