Incertidumbre

A young man lives under the same roof as the woman he loves, yet miles apart. Juan Durand was taken in by the wealthy Aubry family, and though he now shares their table, he cannot share his heart with their daughter María Teresa. At a glittering celebration in the family's castle, music and laughter fill the halls while Juan stands apart, drowning in a melancholia his friend Jaime cannot understand. The cruel mathematics of class: he knows his place, and it is not beside her. So he says nothing. He watches. He suffers in silence, his humble origins a secret he carries like a wound. This is a novel about the quiet violence of loving someone you believe you cannot have, and the sacrifices we make not from heroism but from the crushing weight of what society has taught us to believe about ourselves.
