OTRA VIDA PARA VIVIRLA CONTIGO
This novel tells of the relationship between a young councillor from Cádiz, brilliant, combative and spirited, and an older writer from Madrid, apparently calm and with as few illusions as prejudices. The relationship starts with occasional encounters and disagreements, but grows and becomes more complicated by way of texts, emails, letters and Whatsapp messages, which the two lovers exchange compulsively to make sure of their feelings for each other. And so the story of seduction, which starts as a crazy, daring game that negotiates any problems with humour, ends up turning into a heartbreaking love story that will meet its true test when not only a previous boyfriend appears but also an unexpected marriage proposal. Eduardo Mendicutti has, without doubt written his best ever love story, a comic, moving novel, romantic and contemporary.
