«Paraíso inhabitado» is the novel by Ana María Matute, published by Ediciones Destino in hardback (350 pages, in Spanish).
Adriana grows up without her parents' affection and builds an inner refuge populated by imaginary friends and a chosen family. Her fantasy paradise begins to falter when she starts school and enters the adult world, an environment that feels alien and hostile; only the lights of the living-room lamp continue to give her comfort.
The edition, published in 2009, belongs to the Áncora & Delfín collection from Ediciones Destino, within contemporary fiction.
Suitable for readers of coming-of-age stories and twentieth-century Spanish literature.
