SOLITUDES and Yet... Love
Antonio is on the verge of turning sixty when a virus drags him to the edge of the abyss. Struggling to breathe in the solitude of a hospital room, his only lifeline is the memory of a passion that flared just months before his illness: Angèle, the green‑eyed woman he met through an online poetry forum.
But memory does not unfold in a straight line. Between inhalations of oxygen and the steady drip of fluids sliding into his veins, Antonio plunges into his past: a childhood scarred by his mother's abandonment, the secrets surrounding his father, the discovery of love, losses that left indelible marks, and a revelation powerful enough to forever alter the image he holds of himself.
As he pieces together his story, the many faces of a diverse and complex Peru also emerge: the Coast and the Highlands, social divides, worlds that coexist without always understanding one another, and the silent wounds that cut across generations. In this intimate journey, Antonio's life intertwines with a broader human reality, where origin, belonging, and the search for recognition form part of the same quest.
SOLITUDES and Yet... Love is a deeply moving novel about memory, identity, and the bonds that both fracture and redeem us. A story that reminds us that true love is not a destination to be reached, but a fragile territory we learn to inhabit-even when time itself seems to be running out.
