PREMIO LUMEN DE NOVELA 2025

Un thriller rural y antinovela de iniciación donde la ternura resiste entre la polvareda y la oscuridad, por la ganadora de cinco premios de poesía.

El mundo de Gabi, un niño avispado y sensible, gira en torno a la casa en medio del campo donde vive con su familia: sus padres y tres hermanos mayores que disfrutan haciéndole la vida imposible. Quizá sea porque es el menor, porque tiene las manos cubiertas de verrugas y debe llevar guantes todo el día; o tal vez porque es el protegido de su madre. O, sencillamente, porque es distinto al resto y lo mejor que puede hacer es mantenerse lejos de los mayores y de las broncas de su padre, yendo con cualquier excusa a lo de Marcela, la vecina que siempre tiene un remedio para cualquier mal; o perdiéndose por el campo en compañía de su perra, Sombra. Junto a ella se siente menos solo y más querido, casi a salvo de la violencia que lo rodea. Una noche de verano, sin embargo, los grillos se callan de golpe e irrumpe la tragedia. El niño lo ve todo, menos el rostro del culpable, pero sabe que el crimen solo puede ser obra de alguien cercano. Dispuesto a desenmascararlo, inicia una pesquisa que sacará a la luz muchos secretos y tendrá funestas consecuencias.

Un thriller rural y antinovela de iniciación donde la ternura resiste entre la polvareda y la oscuridad, por la ganadora de cinco premios de poesía.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

WINNER OF THE 2025 LUMEN NOVEL PRIZE

A rural thriller and anti-novel of initiation where tenderness flourishes despite the darkness, by the winner of five poetry prizes.

Gabi is a quick-witted and sensitive boy whose world revolves around the country house he shares with his parents and three older brothers, who entertain themselves by making his life impossible. Maybe it's because he's the youngest, is forced to wear gloves because of the warts on his hands, and is mother's favorite, or maybe it's just that he's different. Whatever the reason, to avoid his siblings and his father's rages, he seizes on any excuse to leave the house. He visits the neighbor, Marcela, who seems to have a cure for every ailment, or roams the countryside with Sombra, his dog. With her by his side, he feels less alone, almost safe from the violence around him. One summer night, however, the crickets suddenly go silent as tragedy strikes the family. Gabi sees it all, except for the face of the perpetrator, but he knows it must be someone close. Determined to unmask the attacker, he starts investigating, bringing to light secrets that bear with them devastating consequences.
