The XNUMXth century is already a kind of consolidated past in its entirety. With that melancholic feeling of a deadline for life, this century becomes the place to find stories of all kinds. And those of us who occupy that time, to a greater or lesser extent, discover that yes, that part of us belongs to that scenario of no return.
And thanks to that misty idea of a not so distant past, full of experiences or stories, legends or intrahistories, enigmas and mysteries, the author Alaitz leceaga has been able to compose a novel that is impregnated with all those sensations that approach us with intensity.
In a splendid house, on the rugged and rugged Cantabrian coast, live Estrella and Alma, two young women who sooner or later will have to take charge of the family patrimony, the exploitation of a mine on which their ancestral family has managed to build a legacy with the one that will prosper the whole family.
However, fatality appears early in history as that kind of almost mystical compensation that is usually sought among the happiness of a lineage for its collection, an enigmatic compensation turned into a family stigma.
Since Estrella and Alma's kind childhood we have been delving into the secrets of this family saga. As time passes and the situation varies completely, we will discover setbacks that the protagonist must face in order to maintain the family legacy.
A novel that poses different scenarios. Between the realism of the historical circumstances, especially hard for a woman determined to get ahead, and an esoteric touch that connects with the telluric, with the energy of the nearby forest.
Among the darkness of the trees, where everything is darkness and cold humidity, secrets lash in gusts, as the nearby waves do against the rocks. And it will be us as readers who discover what is housed in that shadowy space that always sheltered the lives of the Zuloaga family.
