Ángela Becerra

Her first published work was Alma Abierta (Open Soul) (Planeta Group, 2001), a beautiful collection of poems that deals with the conflicts of the human being in maturity.

De los amores negados (Of Useless Loves) (2003), her first published novel (Villegas Editores 2003, Grupo Planeta 2004), marks the beginning of a very personal style described by literary critics as Magic Idealism.

The work that established her as a great novelist is El penúltimo sueño (The Penultimate Dream) (Planeta Group 2005, Villegas Editores, 2005), an immense love story that overcomes every obstacle.

In 2007, she published Lo que le falta al tiempo (What Time is Missing) (Planeta Group, Villegas Editores), a novel of mystery and love that takes place in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés quarter in Paris.

The two main characters of the story are Cadiz, a sexagenarian painter in the twilight of his career, and Mazarine, a student in love of her professor who keeps at home a secret that can change the course of art.

In 2008, Becerra published Amor con A (Villegas Editores) in Colombia, a collection of poems printed in a limited edition that gathers the beginning, life and death of love.

In her intention to feel alive again, the writer creates an enigmatic character, a Donna di lágrima, a silent woman adored by men.

[10] Her most recent novel Algún día (Someday, today) (Planeta Group, 2019), is based on a real event that took place in 1920 in Colombia, and in which she tells the story of Betsabé Espinal,[11] who at the age of twenty-three becomes the heroine of one of the first feminist strikes in history.
