Synopsis of Fada das lapas, a

«A fada das lapas» is the novel by Manuel Janeiro published by Editorial Galaxia in hardback, with 60 pages, in Galician.

The story centres on a supernatural being, its ties to a human and the child born of that relationship. With transparent, mysterious prose attentive to poetic language, it unfolds as an adventure with medieval and mythological echoes, yet works as a metaphor for the present: seduction, love, the breakup of a couple and the loss of children.

Second title in the Álbumes collection from Editorial Galaxia, with illustrations by Carmen de la Colina Béjar, who signs as Zita Delaco. First edition published in 2008.

For readers of contemporary Galician fiction and for those seeking short narratives where the mythical intersects with a social reading of the present.
