Lo Que Tengo Que Contarte
Resumen del Libro
Itxaso conoce a la misteriosa Amaya, una chica que dice poseer una extraordinaria historia, la de su propia vida, y que puede transmitírsela para que la escriba. Un pacto tácito se establece entre ellos: Itxaso podrá convertirse por fin en escritor gracias a la historia de Amaya, y ella, a cambio, obtendrá sus palabras escritas, sabiendo que solo la literatura, hilvanando sus recuerdos, puede ayudarle a reencontrar a un amante perdido. Sin embargo, cuando Amaya empieza su narración remontándose al siglo XVII, Itxaso duda de la cordura de la muchacha. En Lo que tengo que contarte Julia Montejo nos ofrece una novela inquietante, rodeada de un aire misterioso, con una técnica narrativa muy lograda, una historia que impone una idea del amor que va más allá del encuentro: se trata más bien de un reencuentro, de la posibilidad de reconocer en el otro la propia idea del amor. English Description To see new lands, you have to dare to lose sight of the shore for a long time, said the wise man. To dare… that is the verb: Asier, a young man with an old soul, has always wanted to be a writer, and he has his own style, but he can’t find a good story. It is beautiful Amaia who tells him a thrilling tale that dates back to 1615, an adventure based on one of the bloodiest episodes in Iceland’s history. In exchange, the woman’s voice becomes a promise, a weapon to defend himself against loneliness and to search for that which was lost. Asier at last has a tale to tell, and anxiously sets to work on the novel as he starts to fall in love with this girl who is so fascinating, so mysterious… and crazy? Who knows. The important thing is that the phrases are flowing and the extraordinary becomes reality: we suddenly find ourselves in a whaling ship anchored off the coast of Iceland, then in ice-covered lands hunting animals and men, and we discover that passion has memory, although 400 years have passed and the entire world thinks that what we have is craziness.
