«El brillo de las luciérnagas» is the psychological suspense novel by Paul Pen, published by Debolsillo in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
A ten-year-old boy narrates his confinement in a basement with his family, disfigured by fire, as he tries to make sense of the lies around him. Between his cactus, a book of insects and the only ray of sunlight, the appearance of some fireflies ignites his desire to escape and discover what lies outside.
Originally published in 2013, the novel appears in 2014 as the second edition from Debolsillo, within the Best Seller collection.
For readers of psychological thrillers and suspense, especially those who enjoy claustrophobic atmospheres and child narrators.
