Synopsis: A story about the loss of loved ones at an early age, the search for sexual identity, and the world of boxing in equal parts.
This novel tells the story of Cecilia, a 16-year-old girl who, after the death of her mother, moves to live with her great-aunt.
The protagonist's anger is channeled through box-ing, a stigmatized sport that becomes her lifeline. It is precisely thanks to boxing that Cecilia meets M, a 47-year-old woman with whom she shares her family conflict, the frustrations of adolescence, and first loves.
But Furia is not only the story of a teenager looking for her place in the world; it is also a story of three women of different ages and social conditions who, through their life experiences, concerns, fears and insecurities, weave together realities that make the main plot points of the novel as im-portant as those that take place in the background. It is a story that conveys very positive values of self-improvement and sacrifice and that gives a glimpse of hope in the face of certain situations suffered by adolescents.
