Mayte Uceda's 3 best books

The consolidation of Mayte uceda as a first-rate literary reference in a romantic gender in need of good pens is already something without a doubt. Because beyond an entertaining reading about loves, heartbreaks and various passions, you can always give the plot a greater depth, a transcendence. It can be a complementary historical setting or a more transcendent basis that connects with other genres. Because deep down the most fascinating intrastories, the most exciting thing, what remains, no matter how cheesy it may sound, is love.

And so Mayte Uceda is polishing herself in the craft of writing (the imprint comes standard). Each new novel by this Asturian writer wins us over to her cause. As I say, the romantic genre turns green around a narrator who manages to tell us love stories but providing added, complementary, ultimately enriching readings.

It will be because they are built precisely with that intention of going further, of reaching their romances with those doses of absolute verisimilitude regarding how life passes and the encounters that the dilemmas that change everything present us with.

Top 3 recommended novels by Mayte Uceda

The guardian of the tide

A good storyteller always knows how to rescue the anecdotal to give it new energy. And sometimes anecdotal does not mean something trivial but rather forgotten, removed from the most popular collective imagination. Yes, historical memory is capable of shelving transcendent moments because the chronicles have not acquired the weight that corresponds to them by chance or forced forgetfulness. And there writers like Mayte have a vein. Because when something is not common knowledge, it is even more fun to tell an intra-story that recovers everything.

Las Palmas, 1918. Marcela Riverol and her family try to survive hunger while fighting between the British and Germans in the waters of the Canary Islands, blocked by German submarines. Hans Berger, lieutenant in the German Navy, is found adrift and taken badly to the Riverol's home. Marcela will take care of him with the help of Herminia, an old woman with a mysterious past and with a reputation as a witch. When Hans must return to war, the bond between the two will be so strong that it will change their lives forever.

An epic novel that narrates the blockade suffered by the Canary Islands during the First World War and the shipwreck of the valbanera, the largest Spanish naval disaster in peacetime. A love story that crosses oceans and crosses the first half of the XNUMXth century. Only love is capable of defeating time, oblivion and war.

Alice and the infinite monkey theorem

Love and humor. Infatuation is temporarily stupid (sometimes chronic). That is why it is always nice to feel again those days when we were half groggy on the street, smiling when we forgot things (now we get in a bad mood when that happens). The question is knowing how to capture that mixture in such a way that the reading manages to evoke those days of nascent love. "Refrain those who have never been in love."

Alicia is a young widow who dedicates her days to taking care of the vineyard that she inherited when her husband died. After years of loneliness, he decides to try his luck in the search for love on the Internet. After several disappointments, Marco, an enigmatic and devilishly attractive, breaks into her life ...

Corsican!? Under the Mallorcan sun, an instant connection will emerge between the two and they will unleash their passion. However, something is wrong, Marco is too good to be true. What is hidden under that wonderful facade? How could someone as perfect as him be able to fixate on someone as ordinary as she? Those things don't happen at 39. Alice and the infinite monkey theorem is a captivating love story tainted by wine, passion, lies, intrigue and the freshest humor.
