«¿Quién vive la otra mitad de nuestra vida?» Narsia, profesora de teatro de 58 años, acude con su exmarido al llamado de su hijo menor. Es febrero del año 2000. El joven les confiesa a sus padres que una semana atrás asesinó a su novia. No los ha citado, sin embargo, esperando ayuda, sino para que sean testigos de cómo salta al vacío desde ese décimo piso. Con el alma fracturada, Narsia retoma su vida en su ciudad natal, en Sinaloa. Nueve años después conoce a Arsenio, un periodista extraviado. La madre de su hija, con quien tenía un trato hostil luego de separarse, fue asesinada en un tiroteo, y desde entonces va tropezándose con su propia paternidad y en la constante búsqueda de los relevos del amor. A pesar de sus diferencias, en poco tiempo surge entre Narsia y Arsenio una amistad verdadera: la singular sabiduría de la maestra de teatro se convierte en un inesperado faro para Arsenio. Pero Narsia padece una grave enfermedad cardiaca. Aunque es tratable mediante cirugía, ella no quiere cumplir un aniversario más de la muerte de su hijo en esta tierra. Las vidas de los personajes se cruzan aquí --rozándose o anudándose fatalmente-- en un árbol narrativo monumental y minucioso. Geney Beltrán reflexiona con lucidez sobre la intimidad de la violencia y las heridas familiares que nos arman, sobre el arduo amor a los hijos y la imposibilidad de otros amores. Estas páginas son una crónica del fuego que todo lo consume. Y también de ese otro fuego que ilumina. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Who lives the other half of our life?" Narsia, a 58-year-old theater teacher, and her ex-husband respond to a call from their youngest son in February 2000. The young man confesses to his parents that he murdered his girlfriend a week ago. However, he has not summoned them for help but to witness his jump from the tenth floor. With a fractured soul, Narsia returns to her hometown in Sinaloa. Nine years later, she meets Arsenio, a lost journalist. The mother of Arsenio's daughter, with whom he had a hostile relationship after their separation, was murdered in a shooting. Since then, he has been struggling with fatherhood and searching for replacements for love. Despite their differences, a true friendship quickly develops between Narsia and Arsenio. The unique wisdom of the theater teacher becomes an unexpected beacon for Arsenio. However, Narsia suffers from a severe heart condition. Although treatable through surgery, she does not want to mark another anniversary of her son's death on this earth. The lives of the characters intersect--brushing against or fatally intertwining--in a monumental and meticulous narrative tree. Geney Beltrán reflects lucidly on the intimacy of violence and the family wounds that shape us, the arduous love for children, and the impossibility of other loves. These pages are a chronicle of the fire that consumes everything and the fire that illuminates.Shipping Notes

So chic!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This purse is totally chic!! I love how simple it is, yet totally unique looking. The gold and black go so well together. It's actually a little bigger than I expected it to be. It's big enough to hold all of my things and even my phone. The chain is long enough that if I wanted to wear it as a cross body bag, I could, or I could just wear it on my shoulder. I love the wavy gold design on the front. It is pretty durable, and it has a strong magnetic clip. This was overall a wonderful purchase for the price! Great quality, I'm impressed.

Pretty, good size but wrong.
Color: Black
Black with gold trim, not silver as shown. The finish, size and elegance are perfect for weddings. I purchased D-Black. It’s very nice, but the picture showed the metal trim and strap in silver and I was sent gold. I looked at the sight again, and I ordered correctly and don’t even see a choice to select gold with black. Due to my other jewelry and accessories, I couldn’t use this purse for a recent wedding as planned but could use it in the future. I like the purse but was disappointed that it wasn’t as shown.

Elegant and Perfect for Special Occasions
Color: Black, Color: Black
I bought this clutch for a wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The faux suede feels soft and luxurious, and the design looks far more expensive than it actually is. It’s the ideal size to hold my phone, keys, lipstick, and a few essentials without feeling bulky.
The color matched beautifully with my dress, and the little metallic details gave it just the right amount of sparkle for an evening event. I received several compliments throughout the night!
It’s versatile enough for weddings, cocktail parties, or even a fancy dinner out. If you’re looking for a stylish and affordable evening bag, this one is definitely worth it.
