Years ago, life took Greta far from her native Labastida. Now she returns with her two children, who are nearing adulthood. It is assumed that she does so to help her sister prepare for her wedding in September, but, in reality, there is something more. This is something that those who delve into Marta Lobo's new romantic novel, De alguna otra vida, will have to discover.
“"She returns to the town, but not fleeing, not to be fixed; she returns to help herself."
As of this week, a copy of the book can already be obtained, available on Amazon and also through the author's Instagram profile. In the latter case, it is a limited and special edition, as it includes several extras, including an additional chapter. In any case, the writer warns, for those who live in or know Labastida well, that the town in Rioja Alavesa appears as such, although in the story, some liberties are taken for the benefit of the narrative.
The novel speaks of knowing how to value oneself, finding one's place, and stopping living always for others. This is what Greta seeks, returning to her place of origin after years in Madrid, where she met a man who gradually nullified her. The book can be purchased through Amazon, but is also available via Instagram, although in this case the book includes extras.
So she returns to the place where she left her parents, her family, her close friends, and her best friend, Marcos. The reunion with all of them also implies returning to the past, to those 90s parties in Vitoria, at the San Juan bonfires in Judimendi. All of this accompanied by music, by songs that, incidentally, give title to each chapter of the book. These places and sounds can also be followed through the QR codes included in the publication.
