Blanca Busquets (Barcelona, ​​​​1961) proposes to Shared rooms A seemingly unassuming novel that operates with considerable emotional ambition: to explore what happens when lives and wounds overlap in intimate, physical, and symbolic spaces. The title is not merely a scenic reference, but a poetic and moral statement: sharing a room means acknowledging the presence of the other, but also exposing oneself, negotiating silences, and redefining boundaries. In fact, there are two rooms that play a central role on the trauma ward of the hospital where the story unfolds: 271, where Montserrat is, and 269, where Riqui lies. At first, when they pass each other in the corridor, they both think they know each other, but they can't place them. The mystery is set, and at this point, the novel takes on a subtle, almost comical, edge. thriller.
