After the recognition gained with Lo que hay, Sara Torres returns with La seducción, a novel about emotional distance, imagination, and desire.
The story begins when a young photographer writes to an author twenty years her senior with the intention of photographing her while she works on her next novel. After several email exchanges, the writer invites her to spend a few days at her home, a small farmhouse on the Catalan coast. However, upon arrival, the photographer discovers that reality is different from what she had imagined: her host is elusive, avoids being photographed, and maintains a distance that is hard to decipher.
Faced with this resistance, the photographer begins to construct the images she cannot capture with her camera. Scenes unfold in her mind as anxiety, fascination, and desire grow. The tension of this coexistence intensifies when Greta appears, a friend of the writer with whom she shares an intimate relationship of ambiguous boundaries.
In La seducción, Sara Torres explores the power of the gaze, the imaginary construction of desire, and the complexity of emotional bonds between women. With precise and sensory prose, the novel reflects on fantasy, the body, and the images we create to understand those who attract us.
A work that continues to develop the author’s literary universe, where intimacy, sensitivity, and reflection on desire occupy a central place in contemporary narrative in Spain.
