Una tragedia familiar en forma de comedia.

El regreso a la novela de una autora multipremiada y con una voz inconfundible.

«Dónde estaba mi sangre de horchata ahora .

Belén tiene dieciséis años y vive en una casa de locos. Su padre, ya muy mayor y en silla de ruedas, insiste en empezar a organizar la enorme herencia que le corresponde. Su hermano parece saber cosas que a ella le oculta todo el mundo. De su madre ni hablamos: apenas alguna llamada telefónica con mala cobertura y ni una visita desde que, cuando los hermanos eran pequeños, sufrió un episodio que acabó en internamiento. Y Belén quiere que todo sea normal y seguir el consejo que oye desde niña: «Sangre de horchata, cariño. Pase lo que pase, hay que tener sangre fría .

Con ritmo de comedia y aliento de drama, Luisa Castro teje una gran novela sobre la ruptura de una familia y sobre eso que nunca sabremos de los demás: qué sucede tras la puerta cerrada.

«Dueña de un misterio que no desea desvelar, Luisa Castro es serena, cálida e inteligente . -Belén Fortes, Barcelona Review

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A family tragedy in the form of comedy.

The return to the fiction of an award-winning author with an unmistakable voice.

"Owner of a mystery that she does not want to reveal, Luisa Castro is serene, warm, and intelligent."--Belén Fortes, Barcelona Review

"Where was my horchata blood now?"

Belén is sixteen years old and lives in a house of crazy people. Her father, very old and in a wheelchair, insists on starting to organize his enormous inheritance. Her brother seems to know things that everyone hides from her. There's also the problem that is her mother: who calls every now and then with bad coverage and does not visit the brothers since they were little, after she suffered an episode that ended in hospitalization. Belén just wants everything to be normal and follow the advice she has heard since she was a child: "Horchata blood, darling. Whatever happens, you must be cold-blooded".

With the rhythm of a comedy and dramatic airs, Luisa Castro weaves a great novel about the breakup of a family and what we will never know about others: what happens behind closed doors.
