Tu Aliento

A breathless autobiographical novel from the author of 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed. Melissa, the 19-year-old protagonist, is living with Thomas, a young man she loves helplessly. Thomas's casual friendship with Viola prompts doubts about his fidelity that gradually lead to paranoia. Written as a confessional letter to her mother, the story is one of dark obsession, violent lust, and soul-destroying talent. A novel that blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy and delves deep into the disturbing yet familiar mind of a teenage girl.
