Summary note
"¿Qué sucede cuando la madre de la que fue tu mejor amiga reaparece al cabo de veinticinco años para preguntarte qué llevaba su hija en un bolsillo de la chaqueta el día que la atropelló un tren? Es lo que le ocurre a la narradora de esta profunda y trepidante historia. Y a partir de ese enigmático y doloroso primer email, empieza a hurgar en la memoria para recuperar a la adolescente que fue, a la pareja de amigas que formaba junto a Carla, dos jóvenes intrépidas que querían vivir muy rápido. Recuerda entonces el liceo en el que estudiaban, y sus incursiones en los billares y las discotecas de una Valencia de finales de los años ochenta. Una época en que la música todavía importaba, y los paisajes sonoros eran el más potente conductor de emociones, el último hábitat de la adolescencia. Al hilo de la conversación con la madre de su amiga, la narradora reconstruye su propia memoria hasta llegar a la ruta del bakalao, donde la muerte de la melodía coincide con la de la propia inocencia"--Page 4 of cover.
What happens when the mother of your former best friend reappears twenty-five years later to ask you what her daughter was carrying in her jacket pocket the day she was hit by a train? This is what happens to the narrator of this deep and fast-paced story. And from that enigmatic and painful first email, she begins to delve into her memory to recover the teenager she was, the couple of friends she formed with Carla, two intrepid young women who wanted to live very fast. She then remembers the high school where they studied, and their forays into the pool halls and nightclubs of Valencia in the late eighties. A time when music still mattered, and soundscapes were the most powerful conductor of emotions, the last habitat of adolescence. Following the conversation with her friend's mother, the narrator reconstructs her own memory until she reaches the ruta del bakalao, where the death of the melody coincides with that of innocence itself.
