A partir de ese momento, esta adolescente furiosa, desenfadada y vivaz nos enternecer? con sus recuerdos de infancia, sus emociones intensas siempre cambiantes, sus ganas de pertenecer y entender un mundo que le fascina y le intimida, y al que no siempre sabe muy bien c?mo acercarse. En tanto, la relaci?n con su padre se va hilando entre suturas, a veces temblorosas, pero con la certeza del amor como tel?n de fondo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Are you alright, my love? It's okay, look - he got in front of me to protect me." "I killed someone." "What? Don't talk nonsense, Abigail! What are you doing down there?" "It's all my fault." Abigail has just turned 18 when she learns that she may lose her father. From that moment on, this lively, carefree and furious teenager charms us with her childhood memories, rollercoaster emotions, and search for a sense of belonging and understanding in a world that both fascinates and intimidates her, and which she isn't sure how to navigate. Through it all runs her relationship with her father, shaky at times but resting solidly on a foundation of love.
A Father's Joy is a gorgeous novel about a daughter's relationship with a parent she doesn't always understand, who often makes her laugh and sometimes, though very rarely, makes her angry. A profound love expressed in the language of a girl for whom growing up is the only option.
