Aunque fuese en otra vida is a novel by Alfonso Muñoz about friendship, the passage of time, and the dreams that life transforms or leaves behind.
In the summer of 2007, Polo and Marcos meet in England while studying English. They come from very different worlds, but an intense friendship is born between them, one of those that marks a stage of life. They are seventeen years old and share the same urge to escape, the hope for a future that still seems open, and the fear of what awaits them when they return home.
Seventeen years later, in Madrid, there is barely any trace left of those teenagers. Marcos has become a journalist and lives trapped in a gray routine that keeps him from moving forward. Polo, on the other hand, has succeeded in the business world, always on the move and afraid to stop.
When a job opportunity crosses their paths again, the memories of that summer resurface strongly. The promises they made, the dreams they shared, and the decisions they took begin to crack the image they both had of themselves.
What happened to the future they imagined?
Is it possible to recover a friendship when the people they once were no longer exist?
Through the story of Marcos and Polo, Alfonso Muñoz builds a close and moving tale about memory, nostalgia, and the difficulty of reconciling with who we were and with what we still hope to become.
