關於本電子書

Sofía is thirty-five and her husband has left her. Her father died the year before, and her mother is living in the Canary Islands with a new partner. Sofía flees the city with her young son, seeking refuge in her father's house on the southern coast of Spain, where she spent summers as a girl. Her younger sister, with whom she has a close but uneasy relationship, joins her. Living together again, the sisters face their present as well as their childhood and tangled past. A novel from one of Spain's most remarkable authors, Wolfskin is an intimate meditation on ambivalence and motherhood, eroticism and disappointment, family violence and failure, and ultimately, the possibility—or impossibility—of living with those you love.'Lara Moreno writes with the austerity of a watchmaker: she gives you the impression that her prose reaches the reader after a thousand polishes, where the functionality of each word has been meticulously analyzed.' – Care Santos, El Cultural'Lara Moreno's prose disquiets the reader, not only for the strangeness of reality she describes, but through ellipsis, the gaps and the holes that complete the discourse.' – Sònia Hernández, La Vanguardia
