Angie de las Torres Blancas

In Madrid in 1995, Angie Llovet faces the summer that will forever mark her transition to adulthood. Around her rises Torres Blancas, an architectural and emotional labyrinth, as iconic as it is unsettling, where the lives of her neighbors intersect, observe, and silently judge one another. From within this labyrinth of concrete, memory, and desire, Angie tries to understand who she is while family, friendship, and the very idea of ​​the future begin to crumble. Narrated by a collective voice that is both ironic and poignant, the novel portrays the vertigo of growing up when everything —body, home, city— ceases to be a safe haven. Angie of Torres Blancas is a novel about growing up amidst intimate ruins, about what we unknowingly inherit, and about the fragile beauty of moving forward when life is no longer innocent.
