Om The Boleros I have lived
After more than 30 years united to the man who was her husband and her first love, she broke up with him when she found out he was being unfaithful.
After the breakup, she was left alone with her mother, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and without her daughter and granddaughter, who were who had already left in search of a better future.
At the age of 50 and plunged in a loneliness unknown to her, she began to write this story, which she abandoned when her separation stopped hurting her, only to take it up again many years later and conclude it at the request of her daughter. In this novel, sincere, touching, and critical, the author opens her heart and her flesh and tells us, without ambiguity or embarrassment, about her life until she leaves Cuba to join her daughter.
A life full of lights and shadows, work, dreams and achievements, vicissitudes and betrayals, but, in spite of all, full of everything, full of passion and love. Love for everything and everyone, also love for music, which is incorporated into these pages as another character in the plot, because since she was a child "it has been inside her". With a fluid, light and effective prose, this woman, who dares to publish her first novel at the age of 75, invites us to find in its pages reasons to never let ourselves be defeated by adversity.
And she tells us as Mercedes Sosa did in her immortal song: Who said that all is lost?
I come to offer my heart
