Who is Belaundia Fu? She is Marta's best friend at the age of seven, the invisible friend who stays with her when things don't go well and not even her grandmother is able to comfort her. Belaundia Fu is the sensible, ideal and infallible voice that, in Marta's adolescence, tells her the truths to her face: for example, that this boy, Charlie, doesn't suit her. But when Marta has already turned twenty-two, when she has already graduated, when she is beginning to make the decisions that are going to mark the rest of her life, what is Belaundia Fu still doing there? There she follows her because she is the one who has always told Marta her own story. Who is Belaundia Fu?, we ask ourselves, although the really important question is: who is Marta?

Bright and exciting, Los nombres propios is an inquiry into identity and the relationship we establish with the world around us. Dominated by a narrative voice of exceptional maturity, the first novel by Marta Jiménez Serrano reflects on how we came to become who we are, on the very fact of growing up and the way we do it: learning to name what matters to us.
