Al otro lado del mundo

Marcelo is a seven-year-old boy as restless as a lizard tail. What he likes most in the world is spending the summer with his grandparents, José and Valentina, in the town: El Castro. Together they take walks along the river, fish, play and chat about everything a little. In his conversations, the grandfather tells his grandson stories of his family and what El Castro was like when he was born. Through them, José will relate his childhood, the sudden departure of the people at fourteen, the difficult stay in a boarding school and the discovery of music, which managed to overcome the most complicated moments of his adolescence and gave him a goal in life: being a composer, singer and fulfilling the dream of recording their first album. The most autobiographical novel by José Luis Perales arrives. An emotional and tender story in which the singer and writer delves through fiction in his childhood, his training, his desires and the beginning of his passion for music.
