Penguin Random House and Books and Books are inviting to the launch of “Piel de agua” (A Skin of Water), a novel by the Spanish author Estrella Flores-Carretero on December 5 at 6:30 p.m. in Coral Gables, Florida.
Skin of Water narrates the story of a series of women scarred by an intense way of living, feeling, and loving, who paid a heavy price for doing what was outside the purview of their gender during the time in which they lived. In A Skin of Water, her second novel after Days of Salt, Estrella Flores-Carretero continues delving into themes such as friendship, pain, love and heartbreak, and a person's innermost fears, as well as dissecting patterns of behavior repeated from generation to generation, through very moving characters and a family caught in the memory of emotions, a family with "a skin of water".

Estrella Flores-Carretero
As a graduate in Clinical and Educational Psychology from the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, her interest in writing originated when she was a young student. Her first novel Days of Salt was gestated when Estrella decided to apply the sensibility and experience she acquired during her education and her practice as a psychologist, as well as the knowledge she has gained about human behavior when confronted by the love-hate nexus, to literature, and she has continued probing into patterns of behavior in her second novel A Skin of Water.
