Una casa de estilo indiano llena de magnolias.
El hallazgo de una antigua carta.
Y el viaje a un pasado familiar marcado por la traición. 1924
Aurora y Cristina rÃen con complicidad y sueñan en el jardÃn de una majestuosa casa de estilo indiano. Ambas pertenecen a mundos diferentes, pero todavÃa no son conscientes de ello. En el universo de juegos y secretos que comparten, no imaginan que su amistad terminará de forma abrupta por una traición que marcará su futuro. 1992
La vida de Isabel comienza a resquebrajarse tras la pérdida de Aurora, su madre, con quien tenÃa un vÃnculo especial. Mientras recoge sus pertenencias encuentra una vieja carta olvidada en el desván en la que descubre la verdadera identidad de su padre. Isabel deberá emprender un viaje al pasado de su familia en busca de respuestas para poder reencontrarse con sus raÃces y reconciliarse con su madre. En ese viaje descubrirá un secreto que jamás imaginó una gran pérdida y un gran amor. Nuria Quintana despliega audacia y estilo en una primera novela con alma de clásico. Una historia preciosista y emotiva que ahonda en los secretos de una familia, esos que quedan relegados al olvido. Amor, amistad, traición, orÃgenes se diluyen en un libro lleno de matices que habla de la luz y de la oscuridad de los seres humanos. Asombroso y original. «Suspiro mientras me bebo el último sorbo de café. Mi mirada vaga distraÃda a través de la ventana. Sé que Luis podrÃa ayudarme y que él conoce algunas de las respuestas que necesito ahora mismo. Luis trabajó varios años con mamá. Estoy segura de que si ocurrió algo en esa casa, él lo sabe. [...] sé lo difÃcil que va a ser conseguir que exprese sus sentimientos, que me cuente qué es lo que ha ocurrido con ese hombre, de qué lo conoce o por qué ha sido tan reacio a visitar la casa. Luis no es precisamente una persona que se abra con facilidad [...] . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A dazzling first novel that explores the personal ins and outs of the members of a family.
An Indian-style house full of magnolias.
The discovery of an ancient letter.
And the trip to a family's past marked by betrayal.
1924
Aurora and Cristina laugh with complicity and dream in the garden of a majestic Indian-style house. They belong to different worlds, but they are not yet aware of it. In the universe of games and secrets they share, they can't imagine that their friendship will end abruptly due to a betrayal that will mark their future. 1992
Isabel's life begins to unravel after the loss of Aurora, her mother, with whom she had a special bond. As she collects her belongings, she finds an old forgotten letter in the attic in which she discovers the true identity of her father. Isabel must undertake a journey to the past of her family in search of answers to be able to reconnect with her roots and reconcile with her mother. On that trip she'll discover a secret that she never imagined: a great loss and a great love. Nuria Quintana displays boldness and style in her debut novel with the soul of a classic. A precious and emotional story, the plot delves into the secrets of a family and those that are relegated to oblivion. Love, friendship, betrayal, origins are diluted in a book full of nuances regarding the light and the darkness of human beings. Amazing and original. I sigh as I take the last sip of coffee. My gaze wanders through the window. I know Luis could help me and that he knows some of the answers I need right now. Luis worked with Mom for several years. I'm sure if something happened in that house, he knows it. [...] I know how difficult it will be to get him to express his feelings, to tell me what happened with that man, why he knows him or why he has been so reluctant to visit the house. Luis is not exactly a person who opens up easily [...].
