Synopsis "Pica't al cor (in Spanish)"

La Marie, una jove bellesa de províncies, se sap desitjada, gaudeix sent el centre d’atenció i es deixa festejar pel galant més ben plantat de la rodalia. Però un embaràs imprevist i un casament precipitat tallen en sec els flirteigs juvenils, i quan la seva filla Diane neix, la Marie la tracta amb tota la fredor i la crueltat que duu a dins. La Diane creixerà marcada per la manca d’afecte matern, mirant d’entendre’n els motius. Anys després, la fascinació pel vers d’ Alfred de Musset que dona títol al llibre l’esperonarà a estudiar cardiologia a la universitat, on coneixerà una professora, l’Olivia, en qui creurà haver trobat la figura materna que tant anhela. Totes dues establiran una relació ambigua i complexa, però l’Olivia també té una filla, i la història farà un gir inesperat... Aquesta és una novel·la sobre mares i filles. Una faula contemporània deliciosament àcida i malèvola sobre la gelosia i altres complexitats de les relacions humanes: les rivalitats, les manipulacions, el poder que exercim sobre l’altre, la necessitat de sentir-nos estimats... La vint-i-cinquena novel·la d’ Amélie Nothomb és una mostra més que perfecta de la seva endimoniada intel·ligència narradora, de la perspicàcia de la seva mirada i la lleugeresa plaent i plena de secretes càrregues de profunditat de la seva literatura.

Amélie Nothomb (Kobe, Japan, 1967), born as Fabienne Claire Nothomb, is an acclaimed Belgian writer in the French language and a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium. Although she comes from a renowned Brussels family, she spent her childhood and youth in Asia, where her father, a diplomat, served in countries such as China and Japan. This multicultural experience has left a deep imprint on her work, characterized by her witty style, psychological sharpness, and her ability to explore universal themes with a touch of irony and black humor. She currently resides in Paris, from where she continues to establish herself as one of the most original voices in contemporary literature

Since her first novel in 1992 with Hygiene of the Assassin, Nothomb has published more than thirty novels, earning a prominent place in the international literary scene. Her work, translated into numerous languages, has been awarded prizes such as the Leteo Cultural Award (2006) and the Grand Prix Jean Giono (2008), accolades that highlight the quality and originality of her narrative. With agile prose and boundless imagination, Nothomb continues to captivate readers around the world.
