«Paraíso inhabitado» is the novel by Ana María Matute, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback, with 376 pages in Spanish.
Adriana is born when the love between her parents has already faded. To escape that environment, she creates her own paradise in her imagination, with friends and a chosen family. Her precarious happiness falters when she starts school and glimpses the adult world, which feels alien and hostile; her refuge is the stars hidden in the glass of a living-room lamp.
The novel was published in 2009 by Círculo de Lectores and belongs to contemporary Spanish literature.
For readers of contemporary fiction, especially those who value sensitive stories about childhood and refuge in imagination.
