About the Book

Tras el éxito internacional de Mujeres que compran flores, Vanessa Montfort regresa con su esperadísima nueva novela, una conmovedora historia de amistad entre dos mujeres cuyos caminos no estaban destinados a cruzarse, pero cuyo encuentro y rebeldía cambió sus vidas para siempre.

«Todos los seres humanos tenemos al menos una oportunidad de realizar un gran cambio vital, nuestra crisálida, y renacer convertidos en algo más auténtico, más fuerte y más libre.»

Patricia es una periodista a la que una grave crisis de ansiedad le obliga a replantearse su vertiginosa vida profesional, que ha afectado a la relación con su familia, amigos y pareja. En ese momento conoce en un avión a Greta, una misteriosa mujer con un pasado oculto. Gracias al apasionante relato de Greta, que tuvo que rebelarse contra una sociedad que la rechazaba, Patricia descubrirá que en este mundo inseguro lo único que puede salvarte es creer en ti misma.

Con una historia apasionante y esperanzadora que combina emoción, intriga y actualidad, El sueño de la crisálida es la crónica de la mujer de hoy en día, de los retos a los que se enfrenta como profesional, hija, madre, amante y amiga. Un retrato veraz y necesario sobre la sociedad del siglo XXI, que, debido a la prisa, el consumismo, las adicciones digitales y la autoexigencia, nos ha convertido en esclavos de lo urgente para hacernos olvidar lo importante.

Porque todos somos crisálidas con posibilidad de convertirnos en mariposas y alcanzar nuestros sueños.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After the international success of Women Who Buy Flowers (Mujeres que compran flores), Vanessa Montfort is back with her much-anticipated new novel, a moving story of friendship between two women whose paths were not destined to cross, but whose encounter and rebellion change their lives forever.

Patricia is a journalist whose fight with anxiety has forced her to reevaluate her fast-paced professional life and affected her relationship with her family, friends, and spouse. But then, on a plane, she meets Greta, a mysterious woman with a hidden past. Thanks to Greta's thrilling tale of rebelling against a society that rejected her, Patricia discovers that in this uncertain world, the only thing that can save you is believing in yourself.

With a thrilling, inspiring story that combines emotion, intrigue, and current events, The Dream of the Chrysalis is the chronicle of women today, of the challenges women face as professionals, daughters, mothers, lovers, and friends. A true, necessary portrait of 21st-century society which, thanks to fast-paced lives, consumerism, digital addictions, and self-demandingness, has made us think only of what is urgent and not what is important.

Because we are all chrysalides with the possibility of becoming butterflies and reaching our dreams.


About the Author: Vanessa Montfort (Barcelona, 1975) es novelista y dramaturga, y está considerada una de las voces destacadas de la reciente literatura española que ha traspasado nuestras fronteras. Licenciada en Ciencias de la información, cuenta con tres novelas previas premiadas que van desde el thriller hasta la novela histórica: El ingrediente secreto (Premio Ateneo Joven de Sevilla, 2006), Mitología de Nueva York (Premio Ateneo de Sevilla, 2010) y La leyenda de la isla sin voz (Premio Ciudad de Zaragoza a la mejor novela histórica del año. Plaza & Janés, 2014), un éxito de crítica editado en varios países.

Dentro de su variada obra teatral -entre comedia, drama, musical o género fantástico- destacan Flashback, La cortesía de los ciegos y Tierra de tiza, escritos para el Royal Court Theatre de Londres; La Regenta, versión libre de la novela de Clarín (Teatros del Canal, 2012); El galgo (Fundación SGAE, 2013) o Sirena negra, llevada al cine por Elio Quiroga (Festival de Sitges, 2015).

Su obra está siendo traducida, estrenada y publicada en antologías y estudios críticos de Europa, Estados Unidos, América Latina y Asia, y cuenta con reconocimientos internacionales entre los que destacan la Orden de los Descubridores de la St. John's University de Nueva York. La humanización de los paisajes, el lirismo, la fuerza de los diálogos y el dibujo de los personajes y sus conflictos -espejo de la actualidad con un pie en lo extraordinario-, convierten sus obras en una montaña rusa emocional protagonizada por personajes inolvidables.
