Tras el éxito de Lo que hay, vuelve con una novela sobre la distancia, el deseo y la fantasía la autora «llamada a revolucionarlo todo» (Elle), revelación del año 2022 según los libreros independientes y uno de los mejores debuts del mismo año según El Cultural. «Todo lo que toca, lo que escribe, lo que observa, se convierte en belleza». Inés Martín Rodrigo, abril Una joven fotógrafa se pone en contacto con una escritora veinte años mayor para tomarle unos retratos mientras trabaja en su próxima novela, titulada La seducción. Tras intercambiar varios correos, la escritora la invita a pasar unos días en su casa, una pequeña masía en la costa catalana. Al llegar, nada es como esperaba, la anfitriona se muestra distante y no se deja fotografiar. Ante el rechazo, la fotógrafa tomará esas instantáneas en su mente, alimentando a la vez su ansiedad y su deseo. Esa convivencia extraña en una casa en la que todo parece dispuesto para elplacer se tensará con la aparición de Greta, una amiga de la escritora con quien parece compartir una intimidad de límites difusos. Después de convertirse en una de las grandes revelaciones de la literatura española con Lo que hay, Sara Torres vuelve con una novela sobre la distancia y la fantasía sexual, una historia sobre el poder de las imágenes en el deseo y la potencia sanadora de la dulzura. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After the success of What It Is, a revelation in 2022 according to independent booksellers, and one of the best literary debuts that year according to El Cultural, the author "called to revolutionize everything" (Elle) returns with a novel about distance, desire, and fantasy. "Everything she touches, writes, sees becomes beauty." --Inés Martín Rodrigo, Abril A young photographer gets in touch with a writer twenty years her senior to take her portrait while she writes her next novel, entitled Seduction. After exchanging a few emails, the writer invites the photographer to spend a few days at her home, a small country house on the Catalan coast. As she arrives, nothing is as she had expected, her host is distant and won't let her take pictures. Given her rejection, the photographer will take those shots in her mind, feeding both her anxiety and her desire. This bizarre interaction in a house that seems laid out for pleasure, will become tense with the arrival of Greta, a friend of the writer with whom she seems to share an intimacy with fuzzy boundaries. After becoming one of the greatest revelations in Spanish literature with What It Is, Sara Torres returns with a novel about distancing and sexual fantasies, a story about the sway that images have over desire, and the healing power of tenderness.…
