Tu nombre escrito en el agua
Tu nombre escrito en el agua ganó el XVII Premio La sonrisa vertical . Su autora, que firma con el seudónimo de Irene González Frei , acogiéndose a las bases del premio, ha decidido mantener el anonimato. El fallo del jurado, por primera vez en la historia de este premio, fue unánime. Y no es para menos, ya que nos encontramos ante una primera novela que no sólo introduce a sus lectores en una hermosa y densa fantasÃa erótica, sino que les revela a una auténtica escritora. Irene González Frei dedica su novela a Marina , «de todos los personajes de esta historia el único cuyo nombre no he tenido el valor de cambiar», y cede la palabra a SofÃa para que sea ella la que nos cuente,...
Your Name Written on Water
YOUR NAME WRITTEN ON WATER, winner of an international contest for erotic literature in Spanish and a bestseller in Spain, is a startling and charged exploration of desire and narcissism that reads like Carole Maso's AUREOLE with a twist of THE STORY OF O. SofÃa works in a gallery in Madrid, the young wife of an architect whose love for her has hardened into a passionate and destructive resentment. Her life is transformed when one afternoon, by chance, she spends her lunch hour at a public pool outside the city. There she meets Marina, a woman who is her doppelgänger. They are immediately drawn together - so powerfully that SofÃa feels it all may be a trick of her fevered mind - and together they forge a love that is tender as well as passionate, with an intimacy that is almost eerie. When SofÃa learns that Marina is leaving for a job in Rome, she sees the perfect exit from a marriage that has become tyranny. And so they go, twin fugitives after desire - but pursued as well by the spectre of danger. YOUR NAME WRITTEN ON WATER is a stunningly accomplished and deeply psychological novel with the charge of an erotic thriller.

The book describes how concepts of gender and difference shaped the individual, collective, and national identities of Spanish women and significantly modified the meaning and representation of female sexuality.
