Two women separated by a century inhabit the same house, an Indiano villa in northern Spain: Clara, married to an older, wealthy man who keeps her subjugated, and Julia, independent, who buys the house as a refuge from the big city. The counterpoint between them reveals similarities in their lives and their struggle to be masters of their own destiny, in a novel about love, motherhood and solitude.
Number 266 in Anagrama's Narrativas hispánicas collection. It is Josefina R. Aldecoa's first novel.
For readers of contemporary Hispanic fiction interested in the exploration of the female condition and lyrical introspection.
