¿Qué sucedería si la historia de amor perfecta se convirtiera en el peor infierno?Rebeca es una mujer soltera de casi cuarenta años, con un trabajo de éxito y una situación económica desahogada. En un recital de danza, en París, conoce a un hombre con el que inicia una relación amorosa rápida e intensa. Cuando, un tiempo después, se casa con él y se queda embarazada, comienza un calvario en el que el marido intachable se transforma en un abusador que pasa a vejarla y minarle la seguridad en sí misma. Rebeca deberá enfrentarse no solo a su marido, sino también a un sistema institucional imperfecto y a su propia autoestima destrozada. En su primera e impactante novela, la periodista de la SER Marta González Novo rompe tabúes para denunciar el machismo y dar un mensaje de esperanza a todas las víctimas de maltrato. Una historia sanadora y luminosa sobre la lucha de la mujer contra la violencia de género. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONS What if the perfect love story turned into your worst nightmare?
Rebeca is single and nearing forty, professionally successful and financially comfortable. At a dance performance in Paris, she meets a man with whom she rapidly begins an intense relationship.

To survive, Rebeca must confront not only her husband but also an imperfect institutional system and her battered sense of self. In this impressive first novel, SER radio journalist Marta González Novo breaks taboos to denounce machismo and send a message of hope to victims of abuse. A healing and luminous story about one woman's struggle against gender violence.
