Me llamo Lucas

My name is Lucas. I'm a three-and-a-half-kilo Yorkie, born on the banks of the Danube and adopted in Madrid. And this is my story. For fifteen years I witnessed—and was a part of—a complicated, beautiful, and profoundly human love: that of Silvia and Enrique. In this novel, written with two hands and two paws, I narrate our life together. Because sometimes, only a dog can tenderly and unfilteredly recount what humans find difficult to confess. Amid barks, walks, moves, wounds, and healings, My Name is Lucas explores the streets of Madrid, memories in Szentendre, and the corners of the soul where unconditional loyalty resides. Silvia speaks to me. I listen. Without judgment. Because when dogs love, they do so unconditionally. Lucas and his brother Pitu, a mixed breed of a thousand breeds, know when something is about to change. They sense emotions, premonitions, and remind us that there are realities that still elude science, but not the heart. A heartwarming, moving, and luminous novel that will make you laugh, cry, and believe again in the invisible bonds that save us. Because sometimes, the best love stories... are barked out.
