One of the most celebrated literary debuts in recent years, Lo que hay by Sara Torres is an intimate narrative about grief, desire, and the bonds that shape a life.

While her mother is dying of cancer in a northern city, the narrator is in Barcelona with a woman with whom she shares an intense and fragile relationship. Time suspends between these two poles: the imminent loss of the mother and the desire that runs through the body and memory. When the lover disappears and life continues in a small apartment by the sea, an emotional reconstruction process begins, marked by absence, writing, and the need to understand love in all its forms.

With prose of great poetic sensitivity, Sara Torres explores grief, intimacy between women, and the emotional legacy left by family relationships. The novel traces an emotional map where desire, the body, and memory constantly dialogue, and where love reveals itself as a complex force that spans generations.

Published after the author was recognized as one of the most unique voices in contemporary Spanish poetry, Lo que hay confirms Sara Torres as a writer capable of combining lyricism and lucidity in a deeply personal work.

A book about loss, desire between women, and the construction of emotional identity, which dialogues with literary traditions of poetic prose and with a contemporary sensitivity very present in current queer literature.
