In 'La nostalgia de la Mujer Anfibio' (The Nostalgia of the Amphibian Woman), Cristina Sánchez-Andrade immerses us in the story of three generations of women marked by the shipwreck of the Santa Isabel steamship in 1921. The novel explores memory, family secrets, and female desire in a Galician fishing community, blending reality and surrealism. The elderly Lucha, about to be murdered, relives the memories of that fateful day when women alone faced the rescue of the shipwrecked, an event that would mark their lives forever.
