Tres historias que giran en torno a las relaciones humanas, en especial a los asuntos amorosos y pasionales, donde el miedo y el placer se roban el volante. Relaciones que llegan a un punto de quiebre son vistas desde una perspectiva realista. En cada relato se develan separaciones dolorosas, romances malogrados y corazones rotos. Pero de entre las grietas que provocan las infidelidades, el sexo sin emoci n y los naufragios inesperados se cuela un atisbo de luz, un hueco por donde fugarse, un salvavidas que, cual milagro flotante, llega como una garant a de vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Three stories that hinge on human interactions, especially those amorous and passionate, where fear and pleasure steer the wheel. We watch relationships come to a breaking point from a realistic perspective. Each tale reveals painful breakups, ill-fated affairs, and broken hearts. But through the cracks made by infidelity, sex without emotions, and the unexpected wreckage, there is a sliver of light coming in, a hole through which we can escape, a lifesaver, a floating miracle, that comes as an assurance of life.

Libro ganador del premio Junior Library Guild Gold Selection 2022 Un cuento acerca de la iniciaci n en el mundo de la lectura y la escritura, a trav s de la inspiradora huella que una abuela fuera de serie deja en un ni o. Muchas abuelas son so adoras, escriben poemas, incluso usan sombreros verdes de plumas... pero pocas se atreven a participar en concursos de poes a, implantar la semilla de la literatura en sus nietos y realizarse a trav s de ellos, haci ndolos crecer y tejer un hilo de continuidad entre las vidas de ambos mediante la escritura. Petunia es la abuela de Vicente, y de loca en realidad tiene muy poco; al contrario, sus extravagancias se ven matizadas por sus genuinos intereses, de modo que no es dif cil identificar a nuestras propias abuelas con la que este libro retrata. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the Junior Library Guild Gold Selection Award 2022 A story about the introduction to the world of reading and writing, through the inspiring effect that a phenomenal grandmother has on a child. Many grandmas are dreamers, write poems, even wear green feathered hats ... but few dare to participate in poetry contests and plant a love of literature in their grandchildren, and consequently fulfill themselves through them, helping them grow and weaving a strand of continuity through both their lives by way of writing. Petunia is Vicente's grandmother, and she is not actually that crazy; on the contrary, her eccentricities are explained by her genuine interests. In this way, it's not difficult to identify our own grandmothers with the one depicted in this book.
