See our selectionTu sombra de pájaro es la historia de Lorena contada por Isabel, primas con un vínculo lejano -dos desconocidas- que acaban por mimetizarse al punto de volverse una. Es también una narrativa altamente poética que atrapa al lector en un relato que aumenta en tensión hasta un desenlace vertiginoso.
Isabel, una joven estudiante que viene de vivir un desamor, se emplea para cuidar de su prima Lorena, una adolescente enferma que vive encerrada en su casa y en sí misma, en la casi animalidad. Lorena no puede nada, esa es la indicación que recibe su prima, y en ese camino se adentra para entablar con ella un vínculo que comienza en la más absoluta indiferencia, pero que, a través de las lecturas en voz alta, las rememoraciones y el movimiento de los pájaros, va acercándose. Lorena necesita sangre para vivir, pero lo que parece solamente un hecho médico cobra un sentido alegórico a lo largo de la novela.
