THE TIME OF THE HEART

Genre: Contemporary novel
Topic: Fiction
Number of pages: 136

Summer. Two telephone calls break the stillness of the night, setting off two beginnings which spring from darkness and may lead to two different endings: Bruno’s girlfriend has just died in a car accident. Some minutes later, another phone call brings back to him the existence of Julia, his daughter, whom he had sworn never to meet in his life, now demanding him from the other corner of the world. Julia is full of whys. She wants to know. Then come the secrets, confessions, and the meetings too… As Bruno composes this intimate long-distance father’s ballad to Julia, five women’s voices —grandmother Lena, Jasmine, Irene, Clara and aunt Luna— will portray along the lines of this letter the generosity, magnanimity and the boundaries of love’s power. “El tiempo del corazón” is the opportunity that Fate affords to a man to trust in his own life and truth, asking in return the highest price: to learn to bless the loss of the dearest ones. In order to accomplish that, Bruno will have to face the risky adventure of discovering himself, forgiving himself and revealing to a little stranger the most disturbing and frightened corners of his silences.
