Reality must always be a synthesis. The subjective world, our reality, is better outlined based on the meeting of two very different visions, capable of opening the range to the maximum to locate an intermediate point.
Mateo is a young, pretentious and vital. Olga is an adult woman who spends her retirement time studying this reality composed of mathematics, statistics, probabilities and formulas where she can find certainty beyond subjective limitations.
The network supports both options. It is the current Universe for all kinds of searches, from a blender to the encounter with oneself. And of course love. Love can be found in any search engine. The idea is that the algorithm ends up hitting the cookies that leave our trace.
Olga would never have thought that there might be an encounter between her world and Mateo's. In the same way that Mateo would not have thought that he had anything in common with Olga. But searches in general have the same background: knowing and knowing.
When two souls share the same tendency to knowledge and wisdom, perhaps they are not so far away in the mathematical arc of love, in the statistical probability that ends up becoming the deviation of the case studied.
It is then when the synthesis, the generational encounter and the takeoff of something special can come, led by an almost poetic prose, with the edges of the most torn poems, with its sweetness and its bitterness.
This review may sound like a romance novel to you, and part of it is. But we must not forget that the pen of Belén Gopegui presents characteristics that are difficult to classify, a tragic, existential residue, bathed in an overwhelming vitalism and a disturbing background that only the great writers manage to convey.
