El perfil de Lena by ANGELES ARAGON LOPEZ

A novel about women who still look for love

El perfil de lena

Elena Torres is a woman in his fifties who is still looking for love although, more often than not, she finds "only" sex. She is a member of the first generation of women who have lived alone for many years, have brought up their children alone, have managed to have careers, to travel, and now, with the children away from home, they are still looking for love and finding much support en another women friends.

Some men compare this novel to "Sex in New York". The fact is it was written in 2010 and I hadn'd read or heard about "Sex in New York" by then. My women are very Spanish, from Madrid, and they are older and somewhat humbler. The novel has place in Madrid.

Sample text:

            —¿Adónde vas? —pregunta a Ernesto, al ver que se levanta.

            —¿Al baño? —responde él, dudoso.

            —Pensaba que te ibas —comenta ella—. Porque quiero que sepas que he decidido poner una condición a mis amantes, solo una. —Elena se da cuenta de que cada vez pronuncia con más naturalidad esa palabra… amante.

            —¿Y cuál es?

            —Bueno, se puede no hablar de amor y no tomarme cariño.

            —Difícil —responde él, siempre al quite.

            —Pero si te abro mi casa y me arreglo para ti, tienes que echar al menos dos polvos.

            Ernesto sonríe.

            —No te rías —dice Elena, muy seria—. Es la verdad. Es una condición para ser mi amante. Lo tomas o lo dejas.

            Ernesto se acerca a besarle el cuello.

            —Lo tomo, lo tomo.
