«Infértil, al tiempo que cuenta la pendiente en que se pueden convertir los anhelos, sean naturales o impuestos, y cómo esa pendiente arrastra al resto de la vida, genera en el lector -debe de ser una de sus mayores virtudes: la calma en medio del desastre - la sensación de estar ante el jinete más tranquilo del mundo, pero también ante un animal desbocado». -Emiliano Monge, El País

Cerca de los cuarenta años, Rosario, una mujer que con esfuerzo ha logrado estabilidad en su vida, se enfrenta al dilema postergado de la maternidad. Tras recibir un diagnóstico que reduce sus posibilidades para fecundar, se embarca, junto a su pareja, en un proceso médico extenuante que modifica la cotidianidad y los proyectos que han construido juntos. Pero no es solo el impedimento de concebir un hijo lo que intensifica esta etapa de su vida, sino el examen de sus motivaciones personales, de sus recuerdos, y del mandato familiar y social que la compelen.

Con un lenguaje sereno e introspectivo, Infértil, primera novela de Rosario Yori, le da cuerpo a una emotiva historia donde el anhelo materno se enfrenta a las dudas propias de la intimidad biológica y psicológica de sus personajes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"In depicting the slippery slope of natural and imposed desire and its ability to drag the rest of our lives down with it, this novel's greatest strength is its ability to project a sense of calm in the midst of disaster. It is like watching an unflappable rider rein in a runaway steed." -Emiliano Monge, El País

Nearing forty and having worked hard to create a semblance of stability in her life, Rosario can no longer put off the question of motherhood. After receiving a diagnosis that reduces her chances to conceive, she and her partner begin a regimen of fertility treatments that disrupts their daily lives and plans. The project of conceiving a child compels them to examine their personal motivations and memories, as well as the familial and social constraints under which they operate.

Rosario Yori's first novel is a moving story about the dynamics between the parental drive and the dilemmas surrounding biological and psychological intimacy.
