Overview
«—¿Estás bien, mi amor? No pasa nada,
ven —me protegió detrás de él.
—Maté a alguien.
—¿Qué dices? ¡No digas tonterías,
Abigaíl! ¿Qué haces aquí abajo?
—Todo es mi culpa.»
Abigaíl acaba de cumplir 18 años cuando se entera de que podría perder a su padre. A partir de ese momento, esta adolescente furiosa, desenfadada y vivaz nos enternecerá con sus recuerdos de infancia, sus emociones intensas siempre cambiantes, sus ganas de pertenecer y entender un mundo que le fascina y le intimida, y al que no siempre sabe muy bien cómo acercarse. En tanto, la relación con su padre se va hilando entre suturas, a veces temblorosas, pero con la certeza del amor como telón de fondo.
La alegría del padre es una hermosa novela que pone en presente la convivencia de una hija con ese hombre al que algunas veces desconoce, con el que muchas otras se ríe y en ocasiones, muy pocas, se molesta. Un amor profundo, con el lenguaje de una chica cuya única opción será crecer.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Are you alright, my love? It’s okay, look –
he got in front of me to protect me.”
“I killed someone.”
“What? Don’t talk nonsense,
Abigail! What are you doing down there?”
“It’s all my fault.”
Abigail has just turned 18 when she learns that she may lose her father. From that moment on, this lively, carefree and furious teenager charms us with her childhood memories, rollercoaster emotions, and search for a sense of belonging and understanding in a world that both fascinates and intimidates her, and which she isn’t sure how to navigate. Through it all runs her relationship with her father, shaky at times but resting solidly on a foundation of love.
A Father’s Joy is a gorgeous novel about a daughter’s relationship with a parent she doesn’t always understand, who often makes her laugh and sometimes, though very rarely, makes her angry. A profound love expressed in the language of a girl for whom growing up is the only option.
