Burn Me Among Dry Leaves
Book Summary
A novel that explores personal rebirth through crisis. Lali, an unemployed psychologist who has just been abandoned, decides to break with her conventional life and reinvent herself as a tarot reader. Through the consultations of her clients, who entrust her with their romantic sorrows and daily problems, she will discover that her own disappointments are not so unique. This work offers an introspective and liberating look at the capacity to rebuild oneself from adversity, combining emotional realism with a touch of urban mysticism.
What is it about?
Lali is a psychologist, and after losing her job at a private school in Barcelona and being abandoned by a less-than-committed partner, she decides to take a radical turn in her life. She breaks with everything and sets up a tarot practice in her own home. Clients soon begin to arrive, both by phone and in person, coming to her to share their romantic woes, financial problems, and family conflicts. Through these sessions, Lali discovers that her own disillusionments are as common as everyone else's. The consultations become a form of catharsis for her and, ultimately, a path toward her own personal liberation.
