Cada despedida (Every Farewell)
by Mariana Dimópulos
Description
The main character of Every Farewell is a 23 year old woman who feels herself very old and cannot stay anywhere. She always wants to arrive, even if it is unable to sleep in the same bed, to sit in the same chair, to live in the same room.
In Buenos Aires she leaves her career, her family, her brothers and her father, who sentences: "You won´t be happy anywhere, even there ". Her trip started in Spain, from Madrid to Malaga, and continues in Germany (Heilbronn, Heidelberg and Berlin).
She returns to Buenos Aires ten years later. When she is determined to close the last door, her father died. She decides to put down roots in the “Monk farm”, near El Bolson, next to a man, Marco. When it seemed she finally got some peace, Marco was killed. Everything seems to happen simultaneously in the present, as if the fragments of those routes were the best mechanism to investigate the murder of Marco, the only man she loved. Or at least she thought to love.
Mariana Dimópulos is one of the most notable young writers in Argentina. Motherhood, relationship, friendship and the past are the themes of her novels, built with precise and dazzling writing.
