Dive into the turbulent life of Sophie and Otto Bentwood, a middle-aged New York couple who appear to have it all: luxuries, culture, and enviable friendships. However, after a stray cat bite, Sophie begins to question her existence, revealing a series of tragedies and disagreements that disturb her inner self. With subtle and surgical prose, Paula Fox shows us the anguish and emptiness that hide behind the surface of a privileged but meaningless life.
This Spanish edition, translated by Rosa Pérez Pérez and with a prologue by Jonathan Franzen, invites you to reflect on the fragility of happiness and the search for meaning in the midst of despair.
