'Un amor' is a contemporary drama written by the Spanish philologist, journalist and author, Sara Mesa.
The work was published on September 2, 2020, by the publishing house Anagrama. Upon its release, it received mixed reviews from both critics and readers, earning average ratings of 3.57 and 3.9 stars on Goodreads and Amazon, respectively.
The negative reviews - which have planted themselves like barnacles in the minds of many other readers - relate to the way Nat, the protagonist, acts, thinks and feels. Although “Un amor” is titled after one of the feelings most associated with happiness, love, the novel portrays some of the darkest recesses inside us humans: hysteria, guilt, fear and misery.
