Sobreviviendo / Surviving - Arantza Portabales - Bog

After the death of her husband (tycoon Matâias Wagner, whom she married when she was fifteen pregnant), Val Valdâes appears on Surviving, the first reality show to be broadcast in Spain, and turns national television upside down. Val manages to make the whole country fall in love and win the contest, with whose prize she founds a business empire and retires from public life until, several years later, she turns herself in to the police as guilty of the murder of Dani Leis, a former colleague of her school in Santiago de Compostela. Like Joèel Dicker or Pierre Lemaitre, Arantza Portabales assembles with great precision and frenetic pace the pieces of an absorbing intrigue around an exceptional protagonist: Val Valdâes, a successful woman who never stops savoring defeat.
