Overview
Sofía tiene un problema principal: la comida. No para de comer cuando la angustia la devora. Lleva años viviendo en Estados Unidos y todavía no encuentra qué hacer de su vida. Entre la monotonía, los desvelos y el hambre, ella empieza a contarnos sus tropiezos amorosos, la vida con su amor actual, Justin, pero, sobre todo, la vida de su suegra: Claire Lewis. Claire es una mujer muy singular que vive en una camioneta llamada Nelly, es libre, atrevida, mayor y¿ con cáncer.Será a raíz de una petición de Claire a su nuera que ésta sufra de insomnio y recurra a todo tipo de alimentos y bebidas para poder dar serenidad a su corazón y saber qué es lo que tiene que hacer en adelante. Con humor, dulzura e inteligencia, Mayobre pone sobre la mesa un tema que sigue siendo actualmente un tabú: la eutanasia. Será con su pluma que en Blackstar viajaremos en esta caravana, nos enamoraremos de Claire y de Sofía y encontraremos la felicidad del acompañamiento. Al final de cuentas: siempre encontramos a alguien que nos salve. ¿O será que también nosotros podemos salvar? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Sofia has one main problem: food. She can't stop eating when anxiety consumes her. She has been living in the United States for years and still hasn't figured out what to do with her life. Between monotony, sleepless nights and hunger, she begins to tell us about her romantic misadventures, her life with her current love, Justin, but above all, the life of her mother-in-law: Claire Lewis. Claire is a very unique woman who lives in a van called Nelly. She is free, daring, elderly and... has cancer. It is because of a request from Claire to her daughter-in-law that the latter suffers from insomnia and resorts to all kinds of food and drink to bring peace to her heart and figure out what to do next. With humor, sweetness, and intelligence, Mayobre brings to the table a topic that is still taboo today: euthanasia. It is through her writing in Blackstar that we will travel in this caravan, fall in love with Claire and Sofia, and find happiness in companionship. At the end of the day, we always find someone to save us. Or could it be that we too can save others?
