Clara Sánchez · 2000 CE · Novel · Spanish · Contemporary

A teenager growing up in a dormitory suburb of Madrid drifts between family, friends and the first betrayals of adult life. The narration stays close to the flat, unglamorous texture of the periphery rather than the capital's centre. Winner of the 2000 Premio Alfaguara, it established Sánchez as a novelist of contemporary Spanish youth.
