In a village in southern Spain, a mysterious box has passed from mothers to daughters for centuries. Frasquita finds threads and needles in it and takes up sewing, a gift that makes her seem like a magician or witch. Lost by her husband in a cockfight, she crosses an Andalusia stirred by revolts with her children, each with supernatural powers.
Originally published in 2007, this novel received the Prix Renaudot des lycéens and the Prix Emmanuel-Roblès, among others.
For readers of contemporary fiction and magic realism interested in stories of female inheritance and Andalusian settings.
