Maica Gorgal irrumpe con fuerza en el panorama de la narrativa femenina con una preciosa historia de amor, secretos y guerra ambientada en la Galicia minera.

«Una prosa deliciosa para una historia de amor y supervivencia ambientada en la Galicia minera de la posguerra -Ana Lena Rivera, autora de Las herederas de la Singer

Galicia, 1941. La miseria y el hambre son lo único que Sara conoce en el pequeño pueblo de Santa Comba donde vive con su madre. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando abren la mina de volframio. Muchos recurren al valioso "oro negro" para salir de la pobreza de la posguerra y una cierta prosperidad parece instalarse en la zona. Es allí, en la mina de Varilongo, donde Sara conoce a Hannes, un ingeniero alemán que dará un vuelco a su vida. No solo deberán ocultar su romance al principio, sino que los secretos marcarán toda su historia de amor, una historia que pronto se verá amenazada por una trama de conspiraciones e intrigas de la mano de un régimen que no perdona la traición.

Con una narrativa deslumbrante, Maica Gorgal nos envuelve en un vibrante relato lleno de secretos, pasiones y resistencia. Una espléndida novela ambientada en la Galicia minera de la posguerra y protagonizada por una mujer valerosa que se enfrenta a las inclemencias de una época oscura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Maica Gorgal bursts onto the female literary scene with this elegantly crafted story of love, secrets and war set in a Galician mining town.

Galicia, 1941. Poverty and hunger are all Sara knows in the small town of Santa Comba, where she and her mother live. But everything changes when the tungsten mine opens: Men flock to the area to search for the "black gold" that will lift them out of the postwar depression, and the town's fortunes improve. It is there, in the Varilongo mine, where Sara meets Hannes, the German engineer who will change her life. They must hide their affair, however, and secrecy becomes the recurrent theme in their relationship, under threat from a web of conspiracy and intrigue orchestrated by a regime that never forgets treason.

Maica Gorgal enthralls the reader with this vibrant novel full of secrets, passion and resistance. A captivating tale set in the postwar mining towns of Galicia, featuring a brave heroine struggling to prevail during a dark period in Spanish history.
