Sis mesos d'hivern

"I could ignore the fact that all this happened in the middle of a global pandemic. and bars weren't closed. But I won't. Because I want to explain what happened as it happened, no artifice, no lies, no subterfuges. And yes, it happened in the middle of the pandemic, and no, the pandemic wasn't the reason for our separation ". This is how Marta Buchaca's novel begins, addictive, profound and funny at the same time, in her brilliant debut as a novelist. Six months of winter is the story of a brutal separation with the background of a Barcelona paralyzed, like half the world, by a pandemic that, while it seems to stop the lives of millions of people, revolutionizes that of the protagonist, who is seen immersed in an emotional chaos of multiple consequences. A direct novel, hard and tender at the same time, which at times puts on goosebumps and is the hectic story of how an open wound can be healed when it seems like the world is over.
