Synopsis "El Susurro De La Mujer Ballena (in Spanish)"

Finalista Premio Iberoamericano Planeta-Casa América de NarrativaVerónica siempre ha querido estar entre las triunfadoras, las guapas, con éxito profesional y con un círculo social influyente. Por eso su amistad con Rebeca debe mantenerse en secreto. Nadie puede saber en el colegio que Verónica comparte lecturas, música y conversaciones con la vaca, gorda y deforme Rebeca.Muchos años después, tras un reencuentro inesperado, apenas hay un lugar en la ciudad donde Rebeca no aparezca: en el cóctel del embajador, en la redacción de su periódico, en el club de sus amigos, incluso en el discreto edificio donde Verónica suele encontrarse con su amante.Alonso Cueto ha escrito una intensa novela, que a ratos coquetea con el terror, que aborda sin ambages la crueldad de los niños, la cobardía y la amistad, a través de una historia de obsesión tan incómoda como profundamente fascinante.
