TU SOMBRA
The lives of the two brothers at the centre of "Your Shadow" unfold in parallel, like two rivers, like two cars travelling in opposite directions. Pere is 25 years old when he spends the summer of 2010 at home with his parents in Barcelona. He keeps himself busy with electronic music, a project building a web page about leisure and culture, and his sexual encounters with Kate, an enigmatic, English violinist. However he can't get his ex-girlfriend, Laura, out of his head. In the meantime, Joan, his older brother, a voracious reader who works as a primary school teacher and who leads a secret double life which is about to take its toll. "Your Shadow" is an ambitious novel about personal identity in our times that brilliantly combines drama and irony.
