Sonia meets Knut in an online literary forum and begins a long-distance relationship with him that gradually turns to obsession. Though Sonia needs to create distance when Knut becomes too absorbing, she also yearns for a less predictable existence. Alternately attracted to and repulsed by Knut, Sonia begins a secret double life of theft and betrayal in which she will ultimately be trapped for years.

"A good, modern novelof two young people learning reciprocally about adult life . . . Sara Mesa confirms our good expectations."
"[It has] the ability to turn the stereotyped concept of seduction back into its most bitter facets: possession, vanity and the need to feel fetishized."
"(She) consolidates a new narrative voice that is able to bear important fruits in the Spanish novel of the 21st century."
"An atmosphere that evokes the prison labyrinths of Piranessi and the suffocation of the Dostoievskian underground."
"Scar is an original story, written with a concise, direct, fast, transparent style and almost with the asepsis of a surgeon."
Sara Mesa (Madrid, 1976) has lived in Seville since childhood. She is an award-winning author of poetry, fiction, and short stories. In addition to Cicatriz [Scar], her fiction and short stories include Mala letra [Bad handwriting] and Cuatro por cuatro [Four by Four].
