Ihre Mutter ist tot, und Blanca fährt nach Cadaqués, auf den Sommerfamiliensitz am Meer. Eine Geschichte über Mütter und Töchter beginnt, über die Bodenlosigkeit der Trauer und die vertrackten Schönheiten des Lebens. Auch das wird vergehen erzählt vom Abschied an einem von der Eleganz des Sommers verzauberten Ort. Als Blanca nach Cadaqués kommt, ist sie nicht allein. Beide Exmänner sind da, die gemeinsamen Kinder, Freundinnen, der Geliebte, sie alle füllen das Haus mit Leben. Für Blanca beginnt eine entrückte Zeit: Stunden auf dem Boot, Frühstück unterm blauen Himmel, Gespräche bis tief in die Nacht, Alkohol, Sex. Und es wäre alles wie immer – würde die verstorbene Mutter ihr nicht auf Schritt und Tritt begegnen und Blanca dazu zwingen, sich zu einer folgenreichen Einsicht durchzuringen.

There might be many swimmers for sure who, after training so much during the day (“50 meters of Front Crawl, 50 meters of Back and 50 meters of Butterfly”) at night they dream about being fish. But during those same nights, when the moon illuminates the oceans, will fish dream about being swimmers? The authors of this book use humor and poetry to show us that a page can be a deep sea or an Olympic-size swimming pool, depending on the eyes with which it is looked at.

Four daughters grow up. Mom protects. Or try. The little girl observes, asks herself questions, counts silences. News after news, scare after upset, the intrigue makes its way in bites. Dizzying story composed as a mosaic, with agile episodes that mix the comic and the tragic, as in life. Mom asks few questions and keeps many silences. But life goes on, life doesn't wait. Mama Doesn't Know It Yet is the first narrative work by Blanca Baltés. Her dramatic writing covers various genres and styles (children's, comedy, dance-theater, document theater...). She has covered El amor aluso, by Antonio de Solís (Corral de Comedias de Almagro, 2002) and Casandra, by Benito Pérez Galdós (Teatro Español de Madrid, 2020). Added to these works are original works such as Half-Over Oracle (Sala Triángulo in Madrid, 2003) or Beatriz Galindo in Stockholm (Sala de la Princesa, CDN, 2018). Unpublished remains Doors Out (below the words), selected in the Creation Aid program of the Community of Madrid (2008). The novel narrates the life of a Spanish woman, her four daughters and her mother, her grandmother. In some way it tells the intrahistory of a part of Spanish women during the second half of the 20th century. It is a familiar and everyday story, in which europeans who are now over 40 can recognize themselves, but at the same time surprising, with unexpected twists from beginning to end.
