Synopsis "Noche negra / Dark Night (in Spanish)"

"Nunca había visto una madrugada tan negra y quieta, con la selva, las islas y el mar casi confundidos con la oscuridad. El mundo le pareció aterrador, como tomado por fuerzas ocultas".

Rosa decide dejar su vida cómoda en la ciudad para irse con Gene, su pareja de origen irlandés, a construir con sus propias manos una casa en la selva a orillas del mar. Cuando él tiene que irse unos días, ella queda sola en aquel paraje que aún le resulta indescifrable.

Durante ese tiempo, a medida que la luna mengua y las noches se oscurecen, Rosa se enfrenta a las amenazas de la ingobernable naturaleza que la rodea y también a los otros, los vecinos del lugar que la saben sola. Su pasado, además, no deja de acecharla, y su soledad se hace cada vez más profunda y definitiva.

En esta novela portentosa que corta el aliento, la prosa rotunda de Pilar Quintana nos produce admiración e inquietud por partes iguales.

"Un nuevo Corazón de las tinieblas, una obra que marcará un hito literario. Hipnótica, sobrecogedora, peligrosa, conmovedora. Esa tremenda selva la llevaré para siempre en mi memoria". -Rosa Montero

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“I had never seen a night as dark and quiet, with the jungle, the islands, and the ocean nearly blended with the sky. The world seemed terrifying, as if taken by occult forces.”

Rosa and Gene, her Irish partner, decide to leave their comfortable life in the city to go build a house by themselves, in the jungle, by the sea. When Gene has to leave for a few days, Rosa is left alone in a setting that is still indecipherable.

During this time, as the moon is waning and the evenings get darker, Rosa faces the threat of this ungovernable nature surrounding her, as well as from others, the neighbors who know she is by herself. Rosa is also constantly haunted by her past, and loneliness becomes deeper and more definitive.

In this portentous novel that leaves one gasping for air, Pilar Quintana’s resounding prose causes admiration and disquiet in equal measure.

“A new Heart of Darkness, a novel that will become a literary milestone. Hypnotic, overwhelming, dangerous, moving. This dreadful jungle will remain imprinted in my memory.” —Rosa Montero
