Overview
Gretel, la protagonista treintañera de esta fascinante y a ratos perturbadora novela, se reúne con su madre, Sarah, que ahora sufre de alzhéimer, dieciséis años después de que ésta la abandonara. Gretel es lexicógrafa y se gana la vida actualizando entradas de diccionarios, así que sabe bien que las palabras no son inmutables: tampoco lo son los recuerdos ni la vida que se ha construido sobre ellos. Hasta el momento, Sarah ha sido para su hija «como un fantasma sentado a su mesa que devora toda la comida», pero cuando, después de una incansable búsqueda, por fin tiene la oportunidad de formular las preguntas que la atenazan desde que era una adolescente, la memoria de su madre ya no es una línea recta, sino sólo una confusa serie de círculos deflectores que se trazan para luego desdibujarse. Antes de la separación, madre e hija vivieron juntas en una casa flotante en los canales de Oxford, un entorno de aislamiento salvaje, plagado de supersticiones y de gente a la que no le gusta estar en tierra firme mucho tiempo. Un escurridizo territorio remiso a la ley y a la geografía donde viven libres y soberanas, pero acechadas por el Bonak, una criatura mítica.
Gretel, the thirty-year-old protagonist of this fascinating and at times disturbing novel, is reunited with her mother, Sarah, who now suffers from Alzheimer's, sixteen years after she left her. Gretel is a lexicographer and makes a living updating dictionary entries, so she knows well that words are not immutable: neither are memories nor the life that she has built on them. Until now, Sarah has been to her daughter "like a ghost sitting at her table devouring all the food," but when, after a tireless search, she finally gets a chance to ask the questions that have plagued her since she was a child. As an adolescent, his mother's memory is no longer a straight line, but just a confusing series of deflector circles that are drawn and then blurred. Before the separation, mother and daughter lived together in a houseboat on the Oxford canals, an environment of wild isolation, riddled with superstitions and people who do not like to be on dry land for long. An elusive territory remiss to the law and to the geography where they live free and sovereign, but stalked by the Bonak, a mythical creature.
