About the Book

La nueva novela de la autora de La joven de la perla, inspirada en Otelo.

«Absorbente. [...] Chevalier crea un mundo que recuerda a un interior de Vermeer: suspendido en un momento particular, trasciende el tiempo y el espacio.».-The New Yorker

Corren los años setenta en Washington D.C. cuando Osei Kokote, un chico negro de once años, se presenta por primera vez en su nuevo colegio. Hijo de un diplomático de Ghana, ha vivido siempre de ciudad en ciudad, dejando atrás amigos y hogares. Pero cuando conoce a su nueva clase, se encuentra con niños que han heredado, sin tener conciencia de ello, un cruel recelo hacia la gente de color, una desconfianza irracional contagiada por sus familias y su entorno.

En una historia que transcurre a lo largo de un solo día, Tracy Chevalier construye un bello mosaico de personalidades y emociones que habla también de nosotros mismos. Junto a la adorable Dee, el hipócrita Ian, el ingenuo Rod y el resto de niños de la clase, aprenderemos una lección de vida que nos hará replantearnos muchas cosas que habíamos dado por sentadas.

ENGLIHS DESCRIPTION

Tracy Chevalier brings Shakespeare's harrowing drama of jealousy and revenge to a 1970s era elementary school playground.

Arriving at his fifth school in as many years, diplomat's son Osei Kokote knows he needs an ally if he is to survive his first day - so he's lucky to hit it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can't stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players - teachers and pupils alike - will never be the same again.

The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard, where kids fall in and out of love with each other before lunchtime, and practice a casual racism picked up from their parents and teachers. Peeking over the shoulders of four 11 year olds - Osei, Dee, Ian, and his reluctant 'girlfriend' Mimi - Tracy Chevalier's powerful drama of friends torn apart by jealousy, bullying and betrayal will leave you reeling.


About the Author: Tracy Chevalier nació en Washington, pero en 1984 se trasladó a Londres y allí trabajó algunos años como editora. Tras el éxito internacional de La joven de la perla en el año 1999, se ha dedicado exclusivamente a la escritura. Entre sus otras novelas destacan El azul de la virgen, Ángeles fugaces, La dama y el unicornio, El maestro de la inocencia, Las huellas de la vida y El último refugio, publicadas por Lumen. Este año ha publicado La voz de los árboles y ahora aparece otra vez en Lumen con su última novela, El chico nuevo, reinterpretación de la famosa obra de Shakespeare Otelo.
