98 segundos sin sombra

Genoveva tiene dieciseis anos. Estudia en un colegio catolico para mujeres y vive, como ella misma dice, en el culo del mundo : un pueblo remoto de Bolivia donde la modernidad llego de la mano del narcotrafico. Entre una madre ausente y un padre aferrado a las ruinas de un trotskismo ya extinguido, no soporta la vida que tiene ni la que le espera. Sin embargo, de ese malestar nace una necesidad feroz de creer en algo -en lo que sea- que le permita escapar.En 98 segundos sin sombra , la angustia adolescente encuentra una voz apasionada, rabiosa e hipnotica. La busqueda de identidad, la fe, la rebeldia y la insoportable soledad de la adolescencia se entrelazan en un mundo donde el horror y la esperanza se confunden, y donde la supervivencia quiza dependa de entregarse o no, a una cosa o la otra.Genoveva is sixteen. She goes to a Catholic girls' school and lives, as she puts it, in the 'ass end of the world' - a remote town in deep Latin America, where modernization arrives hand-in-hand with drug trafficking. Between a mother lost in delusional dreams and a father clinging to the ruins of long-faded Trotskyism, Genoveva narrates her world with a voice that's raw, contradictory, fearless, and startlingly innocent.She doesn't like what she sees. She doesn't like what she touches. She doesn't like the life she has - or the one that awaits her. But from that discomfort emerges a fierce spiritual longing, a desperate urge to believe in something - anything - that might offer an escape.98 Seconds Without a Shadow is a luminous, unsettling coming-of-age novel about faith, rebellion, and the unbearable solitude of adolescence. Through Genoveva's eyes, we glimpse a broken world where horror and hope are indistinguishable - and survival may lie in surrendering to either.
