Alone

Psychological intrigue. A 185-day countdown.
The chronicle of a rebellion written in the author’s vivid and image-filled prose.

Mei, a forty-two-year-old woman immersed in a listless marriage and who has just been fired from her job, decides to take refuge in the house where she grew up, a small farmhouse in the middle of the forest. There she will try to write the novel that has obsessed her for years while she faces her past, an inopportune present and a future adrift.
This novel is the chronicle of a rebellion, the story of an unrepentant loneliness told in an intriguing 185-day countdown. What is loneliness? An objective reality or a state of mind, a blessing or a condemnation? The only sure thing is that you never get out of solitude unscathed. Sola, Carlota Gurt's shocking first novel, is written in a vivid and highly visual prose that shakes the reader like a force of nature.

"Sola is the story of the double process of self-destruction and recomposition of a feminine identity through writing. A narrative challenge by Carlota Gurt that drags you in a subtle and implacable way towards the edge of the abyss."
