Las Palmas, 1918. Marcela Riverol and her family struggle to survive hunger amidst the fighting between the British and Germans in the Canary archipelago. Hans Berger, a lieutenant in the German Navy, is rescued badly injured and taken to the Riverol's house, where Marcela cares for him with the help of Herminia, an old woman with a reputation as a witch. When Hans must return to the war, the bond between him and Marcela is so strong that it will change their lives forever. This epic novel narrates the blockade suffered by the Canary Islands during the First World War and the sinking of the Valbanera, the greatest Spanish naval disaster in times of peace. It is a love story that crosses oceans and spans the first half of the 20th century, demonstrating that only love can conquer time, oblivion, and war.
