| Synopsis | Abigail has just turned 18 when she finds out that she could lose her father. From that moment on, this furious, carefree and lively teenager will get to us with her childhood memories, her intense, ever-changing emotions, her desire to belong and understand a world that both fascinates and intimidates her, and which she does not always comprehends how to face. Meanwhile, the relationship with his father is woven between sutures, sometimes trembling, but with the certainty of love as a backdrop. The Joy of the Father is a beautiful novel that portraits the interaction between a daughter and man whom she sometimes doesn't know, with whom she sometimes laugh, the one who she very occasionally gets upset with. A deep love articulated in the voice of a girl whose only option will be to grow up. «Living and dying are the two great mandates of life, but joy is not. Perhaps even rarer is a man who finds joy in fathering his only daughter. But when Abigail Ángeles, the main character of this beautiful novel, expresses how grateful she is to the tree that raised her, the joy of the father becomes ours to experience.» |
