Synopsis

La familia de candela, la joven protagonista y narradora de esta novela—seis hermanas, la madre, la abuela y la tía Mary—esta immersa en una realidad cotidiana de corte almodovariano, de ilusiones perdidas, relaciones amorosas que terminan en amargos desengaños, e ingenuas esperanzas en un futuro mejor. Para escapar esta realidad, Candela toma un trabajo en una funeraria. Su vida cambia una noche cuando encuentra que tiene que embalsamar al patriarca de una familia gitana, y se dispone a cumplir con el deseo del difunto de ser enterrado con su sombrero, su bastón, y una foto del rey. Candela descubre que el bastón oculta algo que tiene la cualidad de suscitar un enorme interés entre la parentela del finado. Pero su sorpresa será aun mayor cuando iiega a su vida un pariente del gitano, la broverbial perla negra, ese tipo de hombre que la nueva cultura urbana, posmoderna y feminizante ha logrado borrar del horizonte, la pura esencia de la masculinidad. Tremendamente divertida, ácida y sarcástica, esta primera novela de Angela Vallvey pinta un cuadro de una mujer de hoy, victima del desencanto, donde el destello de la felicidad brilla, al fin, en el transcurso de una cotidianidad oscura.
