Translation Rights TQE / Another Life to Spend It with You

This novel tells the story of the relationship between a young, brilliant and spirited councilman from a town in Cádiz and a mature writer from Madrid who looks apparently serene and has little hope and fewer prejudices. It is a relationship that emerges in the midst of occasional meetings and mix-ups, but which grows and becomes more complex through messages, e-mails, letters and whatsapps that the two lovers write each other compulsively to make sure of their feelings. And thus, the story of seduction that starts as a daring and outrageous game and that uses humor to deal with all drawbacks, ends up becoming a heartbreaking love story whose dimension becomes clear when an old boyfriend and an unexpected wedding engagement come into the picture.
