In 'The Guest', Guadalupe Nettel presents the disturbing story of Ana, a girl who lives with an inner presence, a 'guest' that manifests itself in her life and in her family environment in sometimes devastating ways. The novel explores themes of identity, duality, and the search for a place in the world through characters who, for various reasons, feel marginalized and seek their own beauty in parallel groups. Nettel guides us through these universes, showing us how in what we deny of ourselves we find the keys to cope with existence.
