SURRENDER talks about an attitude to life which is not at all easy: the courage to surrender.
Giving ourselves, surrendering deliberately and freely to desire, to love, to our work, to our calling, to frineds, to the passage of time…
Surrendering to another person. But at the same time dedicating ourselves to integrity and self-respect.
The book deals with two themes: female desire and a woman’s vocation.
The plot centres around the story of a woman, Maria, a stage actress who is on tour in Spain and who one day encountres a stranger. The nameless man follos her everywhere she goes until after a long and agonizing flirtation from a distance, a meeting takes place.
And we see the ensuing consequences of this meeting, filtered through the passing of time, ten years later.
Maria takes us behind the scenes and as well, sometimes, talks about what is behind a woman’s desire.
She tells us about what we cannot see. And she talks openly of sex, of surrender, of fully and valiantly giving ourselves up to what we believe we must do.
