Among the historical fiction and the black genre. What of Pilar Sanchez Vicente It is a singular alternation that reveals an interesting bibliography dotted with juicy novels.

Perhaps at some point the synthesis will occur and we will discover a historical crime novel, because the trends also point to that mix, lately with notable success, with the current greatest exponent of the Swedish Niklas Natt Och Dag and its 1793 and 1794, plus those to come ...

Wandering women
It is not easy to trace those lives whose tangential encounters end up defining parallel destinies. In life these cases happen with the magic of randomness. In literature, coincidences have to be constructed with surgical precision so that this kind of predestination is unleashed with the same magical sensation. For a writer like Pilar, the issue must have occurred with that fascinating imprint that deceives even the narrator herself. And it is that sometimes the characters come to life.
Greta Meier, a famous Swiss writer based in London, returns to her homeland in a last attempt to stop the drift of her days. Surprised by the unexpected illness of her mother, she decides to make up for her long absences and put off the repeated confrontations, staying by his side until the fatal outcome.
However, his last words sow a devastating doubt, revealing in the last breath the great secret of Greta's life: Who was the dead woman, if not her mother? With the only company of her ashes, the author undertakes a journey to the past in search of her own identity.
Following the only thread available, it locates a point on the north coast of Spain and is heading there. Soon he will see that the old rivalry between La Tiesa and La Chata, two itinerant fishmongers, hides the key to its origin, but the questions accumulate without answers. And time is running out.
Whose daughter is she? Has it been stolen from your real parents? What connection do Cimavilla and Nicaragua have? Do those yellowed letters, never answered, hide the secret? Why is Gaspar García Laviana, the guerrilla priest whose poems pierce his gut, so familiar to you?
Leaving behind the turbulence of the past, Greta enters a forgotten world looking for clues to her origin: where are her real parents? Who is she, really? What to do when the ghosts of the past come to life?

Fireflies in memory
All of us who are a few years old remember the glow of fireflies. Their lights today seem to have gone out and it is difficult to find a single one of those insects whose evolutionary process gave them more than an advantage of an attraction for predators. Darwin's failed whims. The point is that drawing on that same strange memory for some almost disappeared insects (I suppose they are left somewhere where man still does not frequently step), we are presented with a story of fleeting brilliance. Because we, our passage through this world, also seems to be a matter of the light glow of a summer night.
About to board the ship that will evacuate her from Asturias and in the midst of the chaos caused by the bombings, little Adriana collapses: behind is Biedes' happy childhood and a family she does not know if she will see again.

The lives of the two brothers, tragically separated as a result of the Civil War, will be marked by a permanent struggle: she against uprooting, he for survival. They are two anonymous heroes, whose testimonies will help us to know and delve into the events of the XNUMXth century.
A journey through the History of two countries, Spain and Argentina, and two regions, Asturias and Tucumán, united through the protagonists.
