A long love story that, like any love and sex story that refuses to stop, becomes more complex and engaging.
Synopsis of The Ages of Lulu:
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 vaguely desired until then. After this first experience, Lulú, an eternal child, feeds for years, alone, the ghost of that man who ends up accepting the challenge of prolonging indefinitely, in their peculiar sexual relationship, the loving game of childhood. He creates a separate world for her, a private universe where time loses value.
But the risky spell of living outside reality is abruptly broken one day, when Lulú, now thirty years old, runs, helplessly but feverishly, into the hell of dangerous desires.
- Number of pages: 288
