And the world kept turning

PREMIO JAÉN DE NARRATIVA JUVENIL 2020

The final year.
The first love.
And life knocking at the door.

Usune and Paul had been crossing paths their whole lives: neighbors, friends, and enemies, they saw each other at the beach, in the park, in bars, at the shipyard. Everywhere. But they never went anywhere together.

Usune thinks she knows the impertinent Paul, what she doesn't know is that he has a very powerful weapon: his dimpled smile and the way his blue eyes look at her.

Usune's life is about to change.

Can the best moment of your life and the worst come together: the most intense joy and the deepest sadness?

The jury of the XXXVI edition of the Jaén Prize for youth narrative has said of the winning work:
"A novel for which there are no ages: it is very difficult not to be moved by it."
Paula Cifuentes

"The value of friendship as one of the pillars of our existence is magnificently reflected. A moving novel."
Patricia Escalona

"Exciting and addictive, in equal parts. Especially tender and moving for the love it conveys towards our elders, a read that stays with you like first love."
Mireia Lite

"An exciting read about the delicate moment of growing up, unconditional friendship, and esteem for elders. It grips you."
Laia Montañà
