La luz y la montaña
by Soledad Urquia
Description
A woman goes to live together with her husband and their little daughter in a village nestled between mountains and streams. A while before, she set out on a spiritual journey of yoga and the study of Eastern texts. She meditates every morning and keeps a diary where she records those moments, her breathing techniques, where her thoughts and desires wander, and her day-to-day life in the valley.
With a voice that echoes Natalia Ginzburg and Emmanuel Carrére but in her uniquely uncertain and gentle tone, each entry in this diary is a revelation.

Reviews
Mercedes Halfon: "A diary sown with insights that enlighten us, bring us down to earth, but above all, leave us mesmerized in the same subtle way that some landscapes enchant us."
Tamara Tenebaum: "Soldeda’s narrator is seeking the dissolution of the self when she encounters the limits of that quest: a daughter who needs her, the absolute singularity of the experience of motherhood."
Victoria Gabaldón: “With a light yet profound voice, Soledad Urquia dives into the apparent conflict between childrearing and spirituality, but also between caring and writing, just as other authors like Tillie Olsen, Natalia Ginzburg, or Jane Lazarre did.”
Santiago Díaz Benavides: "Urquia is rigorous, vulnerable, meticulous in the reference and delivery she makes of each written word, of the most intimate and human aspects.”
