«El año que duró dos segundos» is the contemporary fiction novel by Rachel Joyce, published by Salamandra in hardback (352 pages, in Spanish).
In 1972, two seconds were added to time, a paradox that runs through the story of Byron, an eleven-year-old boy. His mother runs over a girl on a bicycle and does not stop; the family facade begins to crack. Byron starts asking questions and his mother, overwhelmed by guilt, approaches the girl's mother.
Second novel by Rachel Joyce, published in 2015 in the Salamandra Narrativa collection. The original English title is Perfect.
For reading groups and readers of contemporary fiction looking for a reflective novel.
