Summary

Finalista de la IV Bienal de Novela Vargas Llosa

La esperada nueva novela de Rosa Montero. La vida siempre da segundas oportunidades. A quien se atreve a buscarlas.

Pablo sigue un impulso y abandona su vida acomodada en Madrid para recomenzar en una destartalada ciudad del sur de España, aunque nadie logra entender la razón. ¿Qué le convirtió en un ser hermético y atravesado por un dolor que intenta ocultar a los demás? Allí conoce a Raluca, una mujer de un optimismo irreductible, incapaz de cerrar los ojos a todo lo bueno que le ha traído cada problema que ha debido afrontar. Tal vez estaban condenados a no coincidir nunca. O tal vez un día un hombre levanta la vista en un tren en marcha, ve un piso en venta en un lugar impensable y siente que esta vez sí puede cambiar su destino y empezar de cero. La buena suerte es una historia emocionante sobre los dilemas que nos atenazan, la capacidad del ser humano para reinventarse y el estrecho filo que separa el amor y el odio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Rosa Montero's long-awaited new novel. Life always gives second chances to those who dare to look for them.
 
Pablo follows an impulse and leaves his well-to-do life in Madrid to start anew in a rickety run-down city in southern Spain, and no one understands why. What turned him into that closed-off and pain-ridden person that he tries to hide from everyone? Once there, he meets Raluca, a woman of vast optimism, always aware of all the good that each problem that she has had to face has brought her. Perhaps they were doomed to never meet. Or maybe one day a man looks up from a moving train, sees an apartment for sale in an unthinkable place and feels that this time he can change his destiny and start from scratch.
 
Good Luck is an exciting story about the dilemmas that grab a hold of us, the human being's ability to reinvent itself, and the fine line that separates love and hate.
