In 1954, psychiatrist Germán Velázquez returns from exile to work at the women's asylum in Ciempozuelos. He reunites with Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira, the parricide who fascinated him as a child, and with María Castejón, a nurse of humble origin. Germán is drawn to María, but she hides secrets that clash with repressive Spain.
Fifth instalment of the series «Episodios de una Guerra Interminable». Published in 2020, it is one of the standalone novels in the cycle set during the anti-Francoist resistance.
For readers of historical fiction and contemporary Spanish narrative, especially those interested in the postwar period and anti-Francoist memory.
