A Pereira, Colombia, where the houses have stained sheets instead of curtains and the gardens of the neighborhood gather every evening hot gossip and confidences, three girls are beautiful and ambitious to change your life. Thanks to their "agent" Yesica, a tireless organizer of amorous encounters, entered, even fifteen, in the glittering world of partying and drug traffickers, drug lords and the rich of the city. While protected Yesica spend nights in the fabulous monumental villas of the bosses, Catalina is a bystander. Sees them coming home at dawn aboard a luxury big cars, tottering on high heels, loaded with money, gifts and stories. She touches Albeiro Instead, the boyfriend so loving but penniless, which gives her teddy bears for years and waited patiently for her to lend her virginity. But the opportunity to enter the fair comes around for her: pity that El Titi, trafficker on the rise by immoderate sexual appetites, the much prefer a girl with bigger breasts. Thus Catalina discovers the secret of another's happiness: a nice pair of tits silicone strips it off the heads of the richest and most dangerous criminals in circulation. Determined to find the money for surgery that will change her life and cleavage, the former good girl will face all sorts of misadventures before relying on dubious treatments Mauricio Contento, the man in whose hands gone are the noses, buttocks and breasts the whole jet-set in Bogota. The first thing that caught my attention and pushed me to want to read this book is the title. Yes, because if I wanted to understand what could hide behind a title like that, as defined, imaginative, provocative and direct. Then of course I also read the story and I understand that this book was to be my (and the cover, citing a friend of mine by the way, is a "marketing fail" ... in fact none of those who would be attracted to these two boobs silicon on top, I fear appreciate the true meaning of this novel).
A novel about the narcos sudarmericani and dreams of many poor girls who live in provincial towns. Do not study and become good wives and mothers. But being a drug dealer boyfriend who maintains them and pay them all the plastic surgery they want. And this will be the end of the life of Catalina, born with the misfortune of having small breasts, and then not going to find a rich lover. E 'willing to do anything to rebuild the breast and can then live a life of ease and waste. It matters little if you have only 15 years and a boyfriend who loves but who does not understand his dream. It matters little whether to get silicone in her tits and prostitution should go to bed with Hideous Men much older than her.
violent criticism that is Gustavo Bolivar Moreno. To the powerful that they destroy the dreams of little girls poor, too naive and too eager to get out of poverty to become aware of the squalor and meanness of it all. And Catalina is just one of many victims, the dream of a paradise that you can only have with her tits.
Forgive me, but I can not resist making a comparison with the current Italian situation, where sex and power and appearance are now going hand in hand for months, where the dreams of many girls (not all thankfully) go hand in hand with the bursting of their physical appearance and who are willing to make compromises just to reach their goals. (Come on up, I could go much heavier).
be read anyway!
Note to the translation: not bad I would say!
