About the Book

Adictiva, divertida, romántica, honesta, Mujeres que compran flores es una emocionante novela sobre la amistad, una aventura cotidiana en busca de la independencia femenina, un épico viaje al centro de los sueños de la mujer contemporánea.

En un pequeño y céntrico barrio de la ciudad hay cinco mujeres que compran flores. Al principio ninguna lo hace para sí misma: una las compra para su amor secreto, otra para su despacho, la tercera para pintarlas, otra para sus clientas, la última... para un muerto. La última soy yo y ésta es mi historia.

Después de la pérdida de su pareja, Marina se da cuenta de que está totalmente perdida: había ocupado el asiento del copiloto durante demasiado tiempo. Buscando empezar de cero acepta un trabajo provisional en una curiosa floristería llamada El Jardín del Ángel. Allí conocerá a otras mujeres muy diferentes entre sí, pero que, como ella, se encuentran en una encrucijada vital con respecto a su trabajo, sus amantes, sus deseos o su familia. De la relación entre ellas y Olivia, la excéntrica y sabia dueña del local, surgirá una estrecha amistad de la que dependerá el nuevo rumbo que tomarán sus vidas.

Las mujeres que compran flores son:

Marina

Sufre el síndrome del copiloto: siempre ha dependido de que su pareja le marque el rumbo de su vida. Su flor es la violeta, que simboliza la humildad y la timidez, pero también la confianza en sí misma que debe ganarse.

Casandra

Padece el síndrome de la superwoman antes que depender de nadie se aplicaría la eutanasia activa. Prioriza su éxito profesional sobre su vida personal, en el caso de tenerla. Su flor es la orquídea azul, símbolo del relax que le falta.

Gala

Representa el síndrome de Galatea: cree firmemente que la mujer tiene hoy todos los derechos. Todos salvo el de envejecer. Su flor es el lirio blanco, símbolo de una coquetería que no se marchita hasta morir.

Aurora
Encarna el síndrome de la bella sufriente: confunde el amor con la obsesión. Es decir, cuanto más dolor más enamorada se siente. Su flor es la caléndula, la flor de la pena. Pero también es símbolo de la crueldad que no se atreve a devolver, ni siquiera en pequeñas dosis, para defenderse.

Victoria

Una de esas mujeres que han decidido poder con todo -la mejor madre, la mejor trabajadora, la mejor hija-, o dicho de otro modo, las que tienen el síndrome de la omnipotente. Su flor es la del membrillo, la flor de la tentación. La tentación de romper con todo y liberarse.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Addictive, fun, romantic, honest, Women Who Buy Flowers is an exciting novel about friendship, an everyday adventure in search of female independence, an epic journey to the center of a contemporary woman's dreams.

In a small, central neighborhood in the city, five women buy flowers. At first none of them buy for themselves: one buys for her secret love, another for her office, the third to paint them, another for her clients, and the last... for a dead person. The last one is me, and this is my story.

After the loss of her husband, Marina realizes that she is totally lost: she played the role of copilot for far too long. Wanting to start from zero, she takes a temporary job in a curious flower shop called The Angel's Garden. There, she meets women who are very different from each other but who, like her, are at a crossroads with regard to their work, their lovers, their desires, or their families. From their relationship with Olivia, the eccentric and wise shop owner, arises a tight friendship on which their lives' new paths depend.


About the Author: Vanessa Montfort (Barcelona, 1975) es novelista y dramaturga, y está considerada una de las voces destacadas de la reciente literatura española que ha traspasado nuestras fronteras. Licenciada en Ciencias de la información, cuenta con tres novelas previas premiadas que van desde el thriller hasta la novela histórica: El ingrediente secreto (Premio Ateneo Joven de Sevilla, 2006), Mitología de Nueva York (Premio Ateneo de Sevilla, 2010) y La leyenda de la isla sin voz (Premio Ciudad de Zaragoza a la mejor novela histórica del año. Plaza & Janés, 2014), un éxito de crítica editado en varios países.

Dentro de su variada obra teatral -entre comedia, drama, musical o género fantástico- destacan Flashback, La cortesía de los ciegos y Tierra de tiza, escritos para el Royal Court Theatre de Londres; La Regenta, versión libre de la novela de Clarín (Teatros del Canal, 2012); El galgo(Fundación SGAE, 2013) o Sirena negra, llevada al cine por Elio Quiroga (Festival de Sitges, 2015). Como directora y dramaturga ha llevado a escena desde óperas de cámara como Ángelus Novus(Teatros del Canal, 2015) hasta teatro fantástico. A partir de 2015 dirige la Compañía Teatral Hijos de Mary Shelley, la primera formación en España dedicada a este género que se presenta en Madrid con El hogar del monstruo (Centro Dramático Nacional, 2016).

Su obra está siendo traducida, estrenada y publicada en antologías y estudios críticos de Europa, Estados Unidos, América Latina y Asia y cuenta con reconocimientos internacionales entre los que destacan la Orden de los Descubridores de la St. John's University de Nueva York. La humanización de los paisajes, el lirismo, la fuerza de los diálogos y el dibujo de los personajes y sus conflictos -espejo de la actualidad con un pie en lo extraordinario-, convierten sus obras en una montaña rusa emocional protagonizada por personajes inolvidables.
