About this listen
Bella y oscura narra la infancia vivida y soñada de una niña que viaja desde la soledad del orfanato hasta el marginal Barrio, donde la acoge una singular familia: doña Bárbara, su abuela, mujer de poderosa presencia; Amanda, su tía, sometida a Segundo, un marido pendenciero; Chico, su primo, taciturno observador de la actividad del Barrio; Airelai "la katami", la diosa-niña, la enana que conserva intacta la imaginación y la magia; y, finalmente, Máximo, el esperado padre, admirado por todos.
Esta novela no puede escucharse sin sentirse conmovido y atrapado por el relato alegórico de lo que poseemos sin haberlo conquistado: la sabiduría de la infancia. Es la evocación de un tiempo pasado, solitario, germen necesario de la libertad; es la belleza que la fantasía extrae de la crueldad y de los inocentes olvidos de la niñez. Una historia sorprendente, que combina un mundo urbano y realista con elementos mágicos.
Publicada originalmente en 1993, Bella y oscura responde, en palabras de su autora, a la intención de escribir un libro sobre "el esplendor y la negrura de la vida". Con una admirable contención expositiva, Rosa Montero manifiesta un extraordinario pulso narrativo, así como la voluntad radical de sustraerse a toda rutina literaria y crear un rico y maduro mundo propio.

Cuando parece que la tranquilidad ha vuelto a reinar en el country La Maravillosa, Pedro Chazarreta aparece degollado, sentado en su sillón favorito, con una botella de whisky vacía a un costado y un cuchillo ensangrentado en la mano. Todo hace suponer que se trata de un suicidio. Pero pronto aparecen las dudas. ¿Acaso algún justiciero habrá querido vengar la muerte de la mujer del empresario, asesinada tres años antes en esa misma casa? ¿Será ésta la última muerte?

Hace treinta años, en un terreno baldío de un barrio tranquilo, apareció descuartizado y quemado el cadáver de una adolescente. La investigación se cerró sin culpables y su familia -de clase media educada, formal y católica- silenciosamente se fue resquebrajando Pero, pasado ese largo tiempo, la verdad oculta saldrá a la luz gracias al persistente amor del padre de la víctima. Esa verdad mostrará con crudeza lo que se esconde detrás de las apariencias; la crueldad a la que pueden llevar la obediencia y el fanatismo religioso.

Claudia Piñeiro capta con genialidad los tonos de las voces de la sociedad argentina. Y entre ellas la de un ama de casa dispuesta a todo con tal de conservar su matrimonio y las buenas apariencias. Un corazón dibujado con rouge, cruzado por un "te quiero" y firmado "Tuya" le revela a Inés que su marido la engaña. Lo que sigue a continuación no sólo es un policial vertiginoso y atrapante, sino un retrato implacable de la vida familiar de la clase media.
