Berta pasó tres décadas en una casa con su tía amargada, sus libros y sus penas. La vida le ofrece poco, hasta que la muerte de la tía le deja una promesa: llevar sus cenizas a la Zona del Silencio, un místico desierto entre Durango, Chihuahua y Coahuila. Toma rumbo y el destino la alcanza lejos de su casa, en un hotel de paso en Torreón, cuando descubre a unas adolescentes que se juntan a recitar poesía en un terreno baldío contiguo. Berta las espía desde la intimidad de su cuarto y las escuchas le devuelven un apetito furioso por la vida. De la Ciudad de México al desierto de Coahuila y de regreso, Tu lengua en mi boca es una novela de generaciones de mujeres que encuentran en la literatura la rebeldía para escapar de la violencia, el desasosiego y la falta de futuro. Una oda a la adolescencia, a salir del estupor, a buscar la vida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Berta spent three decades in a house with her bitter aunt, her books and her sorrows. Her life has little to offer, until the death of her aunt leaves her a promise to fulfill: to take her ashes to the Zone of Silence, a mystical desert between Durango, Chihuahua and Coahuila. She takes her course and destiny finds her far from home, in a passing hotel in Torreón, when she discovers some teenagers who get together to recite poetry in an adjoining vacant lot. Berta spies on them from the privacy of her room and listening to them brings back a furious appetite for her life. From Mexico City to the Coahuila desert and back, Your Tongue in My Mouth is a novel about generations of women who find rebellion in literature to escape violence, uneasiness, and the lack of a future. An ode to adolescence, waking up from a stupor, to seek life.
