Una historia intensa y perturbadora de amor, rabia y desesperación entre dos mundos contrapuestos

Por la autora ganadora del Premio San Clemente y finalista del Premio Nacional de novela en Colombia

«Con su prosa rica y valiente, desteje los hilos del tiempo y el dolor para mostrarnos el alma humana . --Pilar Quintana, Premio Alfaguara de novela

«Una de las escritoras que revolucionan las letras latinoamericanas . --SModa

La protagonista de esta historia recibe un mail inesperado de un antiguo amante que despierta en ella el recuerdo de un episodio pasado: siendo muy joven, dejó durante un tiempo el hogar familiar en medio de la naturaleza colombiana para marcharse a Londres y probar suerte lejos de su país. Allí entabla una ambigua relación con un inglés que le dobla la edad. Pronto el amor y el deseo quedarán atravesados por una dependencia mutua, perturbadora y asimétrica que terminará marcándolos a ambos.

El cielo está vacío es una historia iniciática sobre el despertar sexual, sobre encender el fuego en una sociedad que se empeña en apagarlo, sobre sentirse invisible y fuera de lugar, sobre cómo llegamos a convertirnos en quienes realmente somos y las cosas a las que tenemos que renunciar para lograrlo. La novela indaga en la pérdida de la juventud, la soledad, la incapacidad de comunicarse, las dificultades de los inmigrantes, el chantaje sexual y la eterna búsqueda de la figura del padre y del amor como arma que puede enaltecer al ser humano y al mismo tiempo destrozarlo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An intense and disturbing story about love, rage, and desperation, between two opposing worlds.

By the San Clemente Award winning author, and runner-up for the National Novel Prize in Colombia.

The protagonist of this story receives an unexpected email from a former lover who awakens in her the memory of a past experience: when she was very young, she left her family home in the Colombian landscape for a while, and went to London to try her luck away from her country. There she began an ambiguous relationship with an Englishman twice her age. Soon, love and desire were pierced by this disturbing, asymmetric codependency that would ultimately leave an imprint on them both.

The Sky Is Empty is a coming-of-age story about sexual awakenings, about lighting a fire in a society bent on quenching it. It is about feeling invisible and out of place, about how we become who we really are and the things we must give up to get there. The novel delves on the loss of youth, on loneliness, the inability to communicate, the plight of immigrants, sexual blackmail, the endless search for a father figure, and love as a weapon capable of exalting human beings and tearing them apart at the same time.
