About the Book

Uno de los mejores libros del 2023 según Babelia.

UNA HISTORIA EMOCIONANTE SOBRE LA FAMILIA.

UNA AUTORA CUYA ESCRITURA «ALUMBRA EN LO MÁS OSCURO» (Juan Tallón).

«Una novela honda y poderosa, un viaje a los confines del espacio familiar del que no sabemos si podemos volver y, si lo logramos, ya no seremos los mismos que se fueron». -Héctor Abad Faciolince


«Los astronautas consagra a Laura Ferrero como una narradora excepcional». -Isabel Coixet


«Lo que brilla, en el cielo, es el pasado».

Todos sabemos desde la infancia qué personas forman nuestra familia y cuáles son los lazos que nos unen a cada una de ellas. Todos menos la protagonista de esta novela, a quien nunca contaron que ella también, en algún momento de su vida, había tenido una. ¿Qué sucedió en aquellos años paraque todos los vestigios de la época desaparecieran? Los astronautas narran el desciframiento de ese ecosistema perdido en el tiempo: una fotografía encontrada fortuitamente, en la que aparece de niña junto a sus padres, alumbra la realidad de su familia con treinta y cinco años de retraso. Pero alumbra, sobre todo, las carencias, los silencios y los secretos sobre los que se vio obligada a conformar su identidad. Sin embargo, una historia nunca cuenta la verdad, sino una verdad...

Laura Ferrero parte de un hecho autobiográfico para construir una ficción emocionante, por momentos desgarradora, acerca de todos esos relatos que nos inoculan en la infancia sobre nuestra propia vida y que no nos cuestionamos hasta que somos capaces de observarla desde fuera. Igual que hicieron aquellos hombres y mujeres, los astronautas, que tuvieron que irse lo más lejos posible, ahí donde nadie había llegado, para poder comprender, al fin, lo que siempre estuvo al alcance de su mano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A THRILLING STORY ABOUT FAMILY.

AN AUTHOR WHOSE WRITING "SHEDS LIGHT ON THE DARKEST PLACES" (Juan Tallón).

"A deep and powerful novel, a voyage to the outer limits of family space from which there may be no return and, if there is, will leave us different than we were before." -Héctor Abad Faciolince

"The Astronauts seals Laura Ferrero's reputation as an exceptional storyteller." -Isabel Coixet

"In space, what shines brightest is the past."

All of us grow up knowing which people make up the members of our family and how we are all related. Everyone except the protagonist of this novel, who was never told she had a family. What happened to erase all traces of its presence? The Astronauts is the story of how she rediscovers an ecosystem lost in time. Thirty-five years later, a photograph found by chance showing a girl and her parents opens a window into the past, as well as the failures, silences and secrets upon which her identity was built. But history never tells the absolute truth, only one truth among many...

Laura Ferrero uses an episode from her own life as the basis for a gripping and sometimes devastating novel about the family stories instilled in us as children and which remain unquestioned until we develop the capacity to observe them from afar. Like astronauts, we must travel to the farthest limits possible, where no one has gone before, to fully understand what has always been within our reach.
