«Sangre de amor correspondido» is the novel by Argentine writer Manuel Puig, published by Planeta in hardcover (247 pages, in Spanish).
Josemar, a construction worker, and María, a wealthy young woman, recall ten years later their adolescent passion in a rural town in Brazil. With questions and confessions, memory reveals cracks and self-deceptions; the narrative alternates youthful brilliance with a desolate present and explores desire, identity, and the fictions of remembrance.
The novel was originally published in 1982, and this edition belongs to Planeta's Clásicos Contemporáneos Internacionales collection.
Readers interested in Latin American narrative and stories about memory, desire, and identity.
