DESDE LA SOMBRA

Since he lost his job Damien has been feeling confused. One day he steals something from an antique market and is forced to hide inside a wardrobe. But then the wardrobe is sold while he is still inside, and taken to Lucia and Fede’s bedroom, and Damien is stuck as though he were part of the furniture. The novel becomes extraordinarily tense as an impossible yet somehow plausible scenario inevitably reveals its consequences. From his hiding place, Damien observes the couple and their family, and gradually becomes close to Lucía, discovering her fears and dreams, and as he does so he finally discovers respect for himself and what he is really capable of when he feels alive
