Synopsis "Amrita (in Spanish)"

Cuando muere un ser querido, su entorno queda trágicamente afectado, en particular cuando todo sugiere que ha sido un suicidio. Tras la muerte misteriosa de Mayu, una joven y famosa actriz, Ryuichiro, su compañero, decide emprender un largo viaje para olvidar. Desde diferentes lugares cuenta sus andanzas en las cartas que envía a Sakumi, la hermana mayor de Mayu, en las que utiliza un inusitado tono de familiaridad y cariño. Sakumi, que no sabe si éste era el estilo habitual empleado por él para dirigirse a su hermana, sucumbe al amor, sobre todo tras sufrir un accidente en el que pierde parte de la memoria. La nueva Sakumi, convertida ya en novia de Ryuichiro, sorprende a todos, porque en ella destellan señales de una segunda personalidad, propia de quienes han estado alguna vez cerca de la muerte... '

Banana Yoshimoto (Tokyo, 1964) studied literature at Nihon University. With Kitchen, her first novel, she won the Newcomer Writers Prize in 1987, while she was still a university student, and a year later she was awarded the Izumi Kyoka Literary Prize for the same work. Among other awards, she has received the prestigious Scanno Award in Italy. Yoshimoto is already the author of an extensive but exquisite body of work consisting of essays, novels like N.P., Amrita, and Tsugumi, and storybooks such as Deep Sleep, Memories of a Dead-End Street, and Lizard. Since 1991, the year Tusquets Editores published Kitchen, Yoshimoto has become, along with Haruki Murakami, one of the most prestigious voices in contemporary Japanese literature.
