AMARANTA is the winner of the 2014 Jaen Prize for Young Adult Novels
Amaranta is the only daughter of the directors of Bancomundo, who try to educate her to follow their steps. However, she is a free spirit: she wants to have a normal life and be a stage actress… For Amaranta’s eighteenth birthday, her mother organizes a big party, and invites the country’s high society. Amaranta feels very lonely among so much luxury. She is more interested in Isma, the mysterious and handsome bartender, than in Sergio, the boy whom her parents would like her to date. On top of it all, her grandfather, the founder of Bancomundo, reveals that he has carefully designed the rest of her life…
Will Amaranta follow the path that has been planned for her, or will she manage to make her own way and discover her destiny?
