| Annotation |
"Love for One's Neighbor manifests itself like a eulogy for a dead woman that didn't die, uttered for a life that burned from within until becoming a log. Teresa and her sister were thrown into an orphanage by their own parents. Their mother was married away to an older man at the age of thirteen; the wedding was at ten at night, no witnesses. Their father is second to last in a long family line that time annihilated. Sinister Aunt Amelia, their father's sister, whom Passionist mothers denied her the dream of becoming God's wife, became a clandestine nun. Teresa and her sister share the same man, whom they wish to love and be loved by. But these are not just simple facts; they constitute affairs of redemption that the author of this novel has come to discuss with her comatose sister." -- Provided by publisher. -- Some violence, some strong language and some descriptions of sex. Mauricio Achar Prize. Spanish language.

"Amor Prójimo se manifiesta como el responso por una muerta que no está muerta, pronunciado por una viva que ardió por dentro hasta convertirse en tronco. A Teresa y su hermana sus propios padres las aventaron a un orfanato. A la madre de ellas la casaron a los trece años con un hombre mayor, la boda fue a las diez de la noche y no hubo testigos. El padre es el penúltimo sobreviviente de la última rama de una estirpe que el tiempo aniquiló. La tenebrosa tía Amelia, hermana del papá, a quien las madres Pasionistas le negaron su sueño de convertirse en esposa de Dios, se hizo monja clandestina. Teresa y su hermana comparten al mismo hombre, al que quisieran amar y que las ame. Pero éstos no son simples datos anecdóticos, constituyen los asuntos de redención que la narradora de esta novela ha venido a tratar con su hermana en coma." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Contiene algo de lenguaje ofensivo, y algunas descripciones de violencia y de índole sexual. Premio Mauricio Achar.
