She has a boyfriend called Hans, and as their relationship reaches crisis point, her need to connect with her father grows stronger. Hans works in a factory and has a sister named Clara. Clara is lonely, misunderstood, and has a bit of an obsession with this guy who rides a motorbike.

"The novel shows the creation process of a piece of literature […] It is aimed at those who like to read, people who can delve into their imagination and be absorbed in a tale, because many of the themes in the story are merely hinted at."—La Mañana
"This book tells the story of Anna, a writer, the world around her and the people who live in it. Anna lives her literary life as if it is real, experiencing a kind of schizophrenia as the characters in her books collide with her life in their desire to see the light. The original was published in Spain in 2008."—Debbie Garrick, Translator
"The Dead Writer is, in essence, an invitation to all those who enjoy the way that literature reflects itself within a story. But it also represents the opportunity to follow other characters with feelings in situations that inevitably provoke recognition. […] A delightful literary text, notable for its metaphorical language and images that are capable of depicting daily scenes containing a multitude of possibilities that often hidden in real life."—Dr Alexandra Santos Pinheiro, Resonancias Literarias, no. 153
"The Dead Writer is a novel not only demonstrates the author's skill but also how she manipulates language, every writer's essential tool. […] This novel is also an insightful literary artefact, written to satisfy and entertain the modern reader."—Letralia
"The author, Núria Añó, masterfully weaves a tale that delves deep into an exploration of the modern individual."—Noury Bakrim, Translator
