Aritmética familiar

Family arithmetic is the map of a territory common to all and different for all. Pilar Tena returns, in this book, to investigate human relationships in the family sphere: that place that from the beginning builds us and destroys us, cares for us and neglects us, where she tries to explain through these fictional characters what failed to understand in real life. The great losses that mark forever, the illness or detachment that a child does not understand, the love that is longed for reflected in others, even the recurring filial betrayal. The settings change cities and go from one country to another, but the characters in most cases drag the same desolation. An entire intimate geography where the reader will see for himself the undoubted evocative power of writing and its capacity for analysis.
