About the Book

Los Acompañantes cuenta el conmovedor periplo de un cantautor a través de la realidad de cuidar a un ser querido. Mientras su esposa se sumerge en la oscuridad de la enfermedad de Alzheimer, él recuerda su propio camino para encontrar la luz y los pasos que le permiten evitar que la vida de un cuidador se desmorone.
Afronta las siete etapas de la enfermedad y las siete pruebas que debe superar cualquier cuidador, los errores cometidos, los problemas encontrados, las preguntas físicas y metafísicas planteadas.
Titulado inicialmente Cartas desde el frente, en una feroz batalla de diez años contra la enfermedad de su esposa, la muerte, el tiempo, la burocracia, el dinero y la familia, Los Acompañantes muestra cómo la enfermedad actúa como un catalizador que intensifica las reacciones de las personas y no se deja consumir, hasta el punto en que algunos transforman el amor en odio.
Pero el narrador descubre sobre todo hasta qué punto la música es vital para su esposa y para él mismo, como único paliativo. Su rutina semanal en el estudio de grabación para cantar los sentimientos que su esposa ya no puede oír le lleva a conocer a María, quien se convierte en estímulo y luego en fuente de inspiración. Entonces se encuentra sumergido en dos historias de amor, una trágica, la otra mágica.
Desde las Tierras Altas de Escocia hasta las grandes llanuras de Estados Unidos, desde Grecia hasta Normandía y Córcega, la música y el amor se entrelazan en una novela que poco a poco da forma a un kit de supervivencia para todos aquellos que se enfrentan a una enfermedad mortal.
Y si al final solo la música y el amor le ayudan a sobrevivir, el narrador muestra cómo los dos van de la mano, son tan vitales para los pacientes como para las personas que les acompañan. Iluminando el texto de Los Acompañantes, las letras de sus canciones de amor sirven de banda sonora a la novela, transformándola en algo único; un libro que no solo nos habla, sino que canta.
Precisamente, quizás lo que mejor resume Los Acompañantes es el tema que da título al álbum For You* que acompaña al libro:

Este mundo solitario nos enseña tantas cosas
Cabalgando desde lo alto de la montaña
Hasta llegar al mar.
Una vez amé a una chica
Y durante un instante estrellado, ella también me amó.

Acompasado por la música, en medio de una soledad que pesa, muestra de ingenio y humanidad y, sobre todo, de esperanza, Los Acompañantes es un tributo a las entrañas de la compasión y una oda a la frágil alegría de vivir.
