El regreso del Club Juvenil de Lectura con Beatriz Esteban

The Avilés Youth Reading Club returns this Friday, May 2, with the presence of the Valencian writer and psychologist Beatriz Esteban. Recognized for her talks and conferences on mental health, she will visit the city to discuss literature and the influence of psychology in her work. It will be at 6:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room of the Casa de Cultura.

With Seré frágil, a novel inspired by personal experiences and published in 2017, Beatriz Esteban became a finalist for the X Jordi Serra i Fabra Award. A year later, her narrative voice solidified by winning the Ripley Award in its second edition, standing out among the best of science fiction and horror.

That same year, Aunque llueva fuego was published, and in 2019 came Presas, a novel that delves into the reality of female inmates and volunteers within a prison, exploring the links that intertwine and the dangers that both sides face.

In 2020, Las voces del lago was released, set in Ireland in 1997, narrating the return of Bree, a young woman who can see ghosts, to her childhood town. The following year, Esteban delves, for the first time, into fantasy with Si vuelve el invierno, where the protagonist, Pheyre, maintains a perpetual spring at the cost of her own life and eventually marries Haran, the God of Death.

Her most recent novel, El ocaso de la reina, intertwines various stories that share many common elements, weaving a tale that invites the reader to immerse themselves in the myth of Atlantis.
