Immerse yourself in a gripping story that will take you to the most intimate corners of Madrid. Join Bosco and his friends on a journey filled with emotion, resilience, and reinvention. A novel that will make you reflect on the constant search for happiness.
Synopsis
One night in an attic in the Justicia neighborhood, the impossible happens, in a house where neither Bosco nor his gay friends had ever been: under the Madrid sky. Time then moves back to another attic, in similar circumstances, in the Salamanca neighborhood of the same city, which is another character in the story. A city that witnesses stories that end and stories that begin. Of the narrative of loss, the chronicle of failure, and the future of success. An imperturbable spectator of the constant search for happiness through resilience and reinvention. Through the hand of Bosco, a gay man, a Madrid dreamed of by many and experienced only by a few is drawn.
"Under the Sky of Madrid is a whirlwind of emotions in which the author pushes his soul to the limit to unequivocally recount a life narrated from his deepest self. It is a provocative story in which the reader becomes an accomplice to a story that shakes the very foundations of the writer himself" (Marc Calderó).
