«¿Quién vive la otra mitad de nuestra vida?»

Narsia, profesora de teatro de 58 años, acude con su exmarido al llamado de su hijo menor. Es febrero del año 2000. El joven les confiesa a sus padres que una semana atrás asesinó a su novia. No los ha citado, sin embargo, esperando ayuda, sino para que sean testigos de cómo salta al vacío desde ese décimo piso.

Con el alma fracturada, Narsia retoma su vida en su ciudad natal, en Sinaloa. Nueve años después conoce a Arsenio, un periodista extraviado. La madre de su hija, con quien tenía un trato hostil luego de separarse, fue asesinada en un tiroteo, y desde entonces va tropezándose con su propia paternidad y en la constante búsqueda de los relevos del amor. A pesar de sus diferencias, en poco tiempo surge entre Narsia y Arsenio una amistad verdadera: la singular sabiduría de la maestra de teatro se convierte en un inesperado faro para Arsenio. Pero Narsia padece una grave enfermedad cardiaca. Aunque es tratable mediante cirugía, ella no quiere cumplir un aniversario más de la muerte de su hijo en esta tierra.

Las vidas de los personajes se cruzan aquí --rozándose o anudándose fatalmente-- en un árbol narrativo monumental y minucioso. Geney Beltrán reflexiona con lucidez sobre la intimidad de la violencia y las heridas familiares que nos arman, sobre el arduo amor a los hijos y la imposibilidad de otros amores. Estas páginas son una crónica del fuego que todo lo consume. Y también de ese otro fuego que ilumina.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Who lives the other half of our life?"

Narsia, a 58-year-old theater teacher, and her ex-husband respond to a call from their youngest son in February 2000. The young man confesses to his parents that he murdered his girlfriend a week ago. However, he has not summoned them for help but to witness his jump from the tenth floor.

With a fractured soul, Narsia returns to her hometown in Sinaloa. Nine years later, she meets Arsenio, a lost journalist. The mother of Arsenio's daughter, with whom he had a hostile relationship after their separation, was murdered in a shooting. Since then, he has been struggling with fatherhood and searching for replacements for love. Despite their differences, a true friendship quickly develops between Narsia and Arsenio. The unique wisdom of the theater teacher becomes an unexpected beacon for Arsenio. However, Narsia suffers from a severe heart condition. Although treatable through surgery, she does not want to mark another anniversary of her son's death on this earth.

The lives of the characters intersect--brushing against or fatally intertwining--in a monumental and meticulous narrative tree. Geney Beltrán reflects lucidly on the intimacy of violence and the family wounds that shape us, the arduous love for children, and the impossibility of other loves. These pages are a chronicle of the fire that consumes everything and the fire that illuminates.

Soft!!!
Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Light Grey
This blanket is very soft, but it’s not made the same on both sides. And it doesn’t fold easily because of that. But it is very soft and comfy. I hope it lasts after being washed cause many things lose their softness after being washed.

Soft, comfortable!
Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Cream White
The softest blanket we own! Definitely seems durable and so warm, love that it doesn’t shed and the material has held up well after a couple of washes, I wasn’t sure about the price but it is our favorite now.

Luxury and priced so well.
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Tipped Champagne Ivory
Absolutely gorgeous. Its got some weight to it, which I love, so cuddly. Nice quality velvet lines the underside in a beige color. Well done. Looks and feels so luxurious. The color is as in the picture, has dimension when its rumpled, but fully creamy white when laying flat. I can't figure it out how that happens lol! But its lovely.

Buy it!
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Tipped Champagne Ivory
So soft and perfect weight! The color is beautiful and it feels luxury!! Great value for money and the size is perfect. Fits over my king bed nicely, not enough to be an actual king size blanket but it’s enough to cover the main part of the bed and add extra warmth! Mine did shed a little out of the bag, but I just put it in the dryer with some dryer sheets (no heat) for an hour and that did the trick!
