I have to confess that once I hooked up with Miss sympathy from Soria. I think it was the summer of '93, like the time this novel starts. The point is that I did not know more about her or rather she did not want to know more about me. It can be said, as Matías Prats himself would sign, that he was not amused.
Something as atypical and even exotic in its statement as is this Miss Mars from Manuel Jabois. But it is that we live atypical times, disconnected from one day to the next. Miss Mars anticipates strange events, alienated but alien. Although if we think about it, we have all felt a bit Martian, misplaced according to what paths of our destiny ...
And that the approach of this novel is not that it is something so anomalous from the start. Everyone has the right to new opportunities, to rebuild their lives, to look back without becoming a pillar of salt. The problem is whether being Miss Mars in itself means that everything is always strange.
