GRUPO PLANETA - LAS EDADES DE LULÚ | POCKET EDITION

A long love story that, like any love and sex story that does not resign itself to ending, becomes more complex and engaging.

Synopsis of Lulu's Ages:

Still immersed in the fears of a childhood lacking affection, Lulú, a fifteen-year-old girl, succumbs to the attraction exerted on her by a young man, a family friend, whom she had until then vaguely desired. After this first experience, Lulú, an eternal child, alone nourishes for years the ghost of this man who ends up accepting the challenge of prolonging indefinitely, in their particular sexual relationship, the amorous game of childhood. Create a world apart for her, a private universe where time loses its value.

But the risky fate of living outside of reality is abruptly broken one day, when Lulú, now thirty years old, throws herself, helpless but feverish, into the hell of dangerous desires.
