Una novela iniciática sobre el trauma y la búsqueda de la identidad. Una lectura contundente, hechizante, cruel e inquietante que cuestiona la maternidad, el amor y los vínculos que nos unen con nuestro pasado... La anciana Tamara Pavlovna rescata a la pequeña Lastochka de un orfanato durante los años más grises del comunismo en Moldavia. Lo que en principio puede parecer un acto de piedad esconde una realidad terrorífica. A Lastochka la han comprado para trabajar como esclava recolectando, durante casi una década, botellas por las calles de la ciudad. Sobrevive en un ambiente marcado por la violencia y la miseria mientras rechaza las insinuaciones de unos hombres demasiado obstinados. «El jardín de vidrio» es un ejercicio de exorcismo doméstico. Una carta imaginada por una niña para unos padres desconocidos, en la que el dolor a causa del abandono, el desamor y la ausencia de ternura y emoción se muestra como una herida que quizá nunca llegue a cicatrizar del todo. La falta de piedad, la inmensa delicadeza estilística y la escritura caleidoscópica de Tatiana Tîbuleac hacen de esta novela una tragedia tan cruel y compasiva como reveladora de aquello que nos depara el destino y su belleza.
An initiatory novel about trauma and the search for identity. A compelling, bewitching, cruel and disturbing reading that questions motherhood, love and the links that unite us with our past... The elderly Tamara Pavlovna rescues little Lastochka from an orphanage during the grayest years of communism in Moldova. What at first may seem like an act of mercy hides a terrifying reality. Lastochka has been bought to work as a slave collecting, for almost a decade, bottles on the streets of the city. She survives in an environment marked by violence and misery while she rejects the advances of overly stubborn men. "The Glass Garden" is an exercise in domestic exorcism. A letter imagined by a girl for unknown parents, in which the pain caused by abandonment, lack of love and the absence of tenderness and emotion is shown as a wound that may never fully heal. The lack of mercy, the immense stylistic delicacy and the kaleidoscopic writing of Tatiana Tîbuleac make this novel a tragedy as cruel and compassionate as it reveals what fate and its beauty have in store for us.
