Recuerdos Secretos
Resumen del Libro
SECRET MEMORIES, a stream of consciousness work, deals with the odd relationship of the two nameless characters (a man and a woman) in a deserted beach house. She paints, he writes. They seldom talk, yet their lives are irrevocably linked. The climax comes one spring evening. She has completed the canvas that has occupied her feverish nights for so long. It is a painting of a Chinaman holding a dagger, with a woman-herself-at his feet. The face on the painting is that of the male character. It is at this point that they both accept, surrounded by the music, the sound of the surf and the smell of incense, their unavoidable fate. From the beginning, the reader feels pulled into the narrators world and observes, along with him a delicate, beautiful, and vulnerable universe as personal and intimate as a conversation between lovers. –Hope Maxell Snyder, author of Orange Wine
