"Vents més salvatges" és una col·lecció de relats lleugers i, a la vegada, profunds. Contes que parlen de nenes, de mares, de tietes i d'àvies, que parlen de dones de l'actualitat i dones que van viure en temps passats. La prosa elegant de la Bel Olid s'endinsa en el conflicte personal i social i obre una finestra a diferents realitats. Parla de la foscor més intensa, de l'abús de poder, la violència i les forces institucionals que afecten els grups socials més marginats.

"Follem?" és un assaig que examina la sexualitat i el plaer i ho fa des d'una exploració més enllà dels clixés i els tabús.

És una nova manera de mirar cap a l'interior del desig i dels cossos humans i també cap a l'exterior, cap a les persones amb les qui compartim aquest anhel. Escoltar al cos, a l'ànima i no fer cas a tot el que s'ha imposat per defecte.
