José Morella

A woman subjected to the dangerous, destructive harassment of a man filled with hatred.

Violeta is hounded by a stalker, Salva, the mayor's son, who makes her life impossible. Not only does he shadow her on the social networks, but he also travels to the capital, where he has no reason to go, to mark Violeta's territory with his viscous, menacing presence: the university where she studies Physics, the routes she takes every day, and even the apartment that Violeta shares with her girlfriend. An apparently inconsequential snub is what triggered off this increasingly persistent and dangerous persecution, but neither Violeta nor her family nor her friends will be truly aware of its gravity until it is too late.

After winning the prestigious Café Gijón Prize with his previous book, José Morella delves into the hell of sexist violence in this new novel, where he takes a radically original approach and lays out a surprising, unexpected finale.
