"La Edad de Tiza" is a great coming-of-age novel masquerading as a thriller: the tale of "the most prepared generation in history," of the expectations and promises that boomers lived through and vanished for millennials. Álvaro has already turned thirty when a job setback returns him to the family home: his mother continues to live there and the promises of prosperity from his adolescence also remain, like ghosts. Without much else to do, he sets out to unravel an old mystery that began when he was fourteen: the disappearance of a videotape on sex education that they played in class and that gave rise to other equally inexplicable events.
Between doubtful memories, we return with Álvaro to the year 1991 , to a male and concerted school in which they talk about the Spain of the future, where the girls are light years away, parents and children are unable to communicate, and mature It means stop asking questions.
