About También fuimos silencio / We Were Also Silence

¿Cuánto tiempo podemos escondernos detrás del silencio?

«Una historia dura y hermosa, que sumerge al lector en una zona íntima de heridas, silencios y muros» -AIMAR BRETOS

«Si mis padres estuvieran muertos, todo sería más fácil».
 
Este terrible pensamiento ha marcado la vida del protagonista de esta historia, provocándole una mezcla de vergüenza y de culpa. Ahora, a punto de alcanzar la treintena, se enfrenta a la ausencia de su madre y a la enfermedad de su padre.
 
Sin embargo, lo que más le pesa es que su familia nunca ha sabido quién es él realmente; solo ha sido capaz de contarlo en una novela que ha quedado finalista en un certamen literario para jóvenes escritores. Y así, de repente, el tiempo se le acaba.
 
Dispone de siete días para confesar ese secreto antes de que se falle el premio y, tal vez, la verdad salga a la luz. Siete días contra muchos años de mentiras y de verdades a medias. Siete días para romper el silencio.
 
Un relato emotivo y contemporáneo sobre la familia, el rechazo, la sexualidad y el amor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

How long can we hide behind silence?

“A harsh and beautiful story that immerses the reader in an intimate world of hurt, silence and walls.”-AIMAR BRETOS

“Everything would be easier if my parents were dead.”
 
This terrible thought has shaped the life of this story’s protagonist, causing him guilt and shame.  Now, on the eve of turning thirty, he is ready to confront his mother’s absence and his father’s illness.  
 
What weighs on him most, however, is that he has never been able to reveal his true self to his family. The most he’s done is write about it in a novel, which has been chosen as a finalist for a young writers’ award. And now, time is running out.
 
He has seven days to confess his secret until the winners of the literary award are announced. If he wins, everyone will know the truth. Seven days versus years of lies and half-truths. Seven days to break the silence.
 
A moving and contemporary tale about family, rejection, sexuality and love.
