About the Book

Aunque queramos encerrarlo bajo llave, el pasado siempre vuelve y se cobra su precio. Julia Montejo nos sorprende con una novela donde el deseo, la intriga y el suspense se instalan en la vida de una mujer felizmente casada.
Vista desde la media distancia, mientras camina por las calles de Madrid o desayuna en la cocina de su casa, Virginia parece una mujer confortablemente asentada en una vida que ella misma eligió después de años de aventuras: ahora tiene a Alex, un marido estupendo, dos hijas pequeñas que la adoran y un proyecto profesional que llena sus días.
Hace falta acercarse un poco más para descubrir en su mirada un hambre extraña, que no se sacia con besos y caricias al uso. Daniel, un hombre que lo esconde casi todo detrás de unas gafas de concha, intuye que las ganas de Virginia vienen de lejos, y desde la misma noche en que se encuentran sabrá cómo domarlas. Sus métodos nos llevará hasta la infancia de Virginia en una ciudad del norte, en un barrio obrero donde las casas parecen cárceles y quien huye siempre paga un precio.
¿Valió la pena marcharse, olvidar quienes fuimos, traicionar los recuerdos para salvar solo aquellos pedazos de vida que muestran lo mejor de nosotros? Esas son las preguntas que recorren las páginas de Los abrazos oscuros de Julia Montejo, una novela que arranca en la piel de Virginia y hurga en la memoria de todos.
«Vamos por la vida oyendo mal, viendo mal e interpretando mal para dar sentido a la historia que nos contamos.»
Jeanette Malcolm

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Athough we might wish to lock it away, the past always comes back to collect its due.
Julia Montejo surprises us with a novel in which desire, intrigue, and suspense settle into the life of a happily married woman.
From a distance, as she walks through the streets of Madrid or has breakfast in her kitchen, Virginia seems like a woman comfortably secure in a life that she chose for herself after years of adventure: now she has Álex, a fantastic husband, two little girls who love her, and a professional career that fills her days.
You have to look closer to discover a strange hunger in her gaze, that isn't satisfied with typical kisses and caresses. Daniel, a man who hides nearly everything behind his horn-rimmed glasses, senses that Virginia's desires go back a long way, and from the night they meet he knows how to master them. His methods take us back to Virginia's childhood in a city up north, in a working-class neighborhood where the houses seem like jails and anyone who flees always pays a price.
Is it worth it to leave, forget who we are, betray our memories to save just those pieces of life that show the best of us? Those are the questions that traverse the pages of The Dark Embraces by Julia Montejo, a novel that starts from Virginia's skin and delves into the memory of all of us.
"We go through life smelling poorly, seeing poorly, and interpreting poorly to give meaning to the stories we tell ourselves." -Jeanette Malcolm
