Juana and Eric, two college friends, accept an invitation to sail to Ibiza and Formentera with five strangers. What promised to be a summer vacation turns into a disturbing experience where masks slip and the true natures of the passengers emerge. This novel explores the limits of morality and the human condition when a group of people is isolated on the high seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn July 2009, Juana and Eric join an improvised crew to sail from Barcelona to the Balearic Islands. Aboard the sailboat, forced cohabitation and the isolation of the open sea create a breeding ground for the internal conflicts of each character to surface. Relationships become strained, appearances crumble, and everyday situations become unpredictable. The author constructs a narrative that reveals how apparently normal people can brush against unsuspected moral limits, showing the fragility of civility when space and privacy are compressed on a boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eForced cohabitation and social isolation in confined spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe fragility of appearances and the revelation of true human nature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMoral and ethical boundaries in situations of tension and extreme proximity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe initiatory journey and self-discovery through the experience of the sea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in contemporary fiction with psychological overtones, who seek intimate stories centered on human relationships and interpersonal conflicts.
