In the heart of Manhattan's suffocating rush, Frank Whitman's world unravels in a single, catastrophic moment: the screeching halt of a subway car, a paralyzing panic attack, and the realization that the city he once loved may be the very force destroying him. Solitude is a visceral dive into that collapse-an unflinching portrait of a man at the end of his tether, grappling with despair, failed dreams, and the terrifying clarity of seeing life's futility in fluorescent-lit chaos.

When a doctor delivers a brutal ultimatum-change everything or succumb-Frank flees to a remote village in La Mancha, seeking refuge among olive groves and cobblestone alleys. But solitude in a place where everyone knows your name is its own kind of trial. As he navigates unfamiliar customs, eerie silences, and a neighbor whose quiet intensity borders on ominous, Frank must confront the truth he's long evaded: escaping the city cannot erase the fractures within.

Francisco Angulo de Lafuente weaves a narrative both haunting and darkly evocative, alternating between the claustrophobic pulse of New York's underground and the unsettling stillness of rural Spain. Readers will find themselves immersed in Frank's internal monologue-raw with panic, regret, and moments of brutal honesty-while the setting itself becomes a character, testing his will and redefining his understanding of home, identity, and survival.

Solitude asks: Can a shattered soul be pieced back together in the silence of nowhere? Or is true freedom found only in accepting the loneliness we carry inside? Perfect for fans of literary thrillers and psychological dramas, this novel offers no easy answers-only the relentless truth of one man's descent and the fragile hope of rebirth in the most unexpected place.

Step into Frank Whitman's world, feel the city's suffocating weight, and follow him to a landscape where every whisper could reveal salvation or doom. Solitude is not just a journey across continents; it is an expedition into the darkest corners of the self. Are you ready to confront your own?
