«Yáiza» is the novel by Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa, published by Círculo de Lectores in 1985 in hardback (245 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Yáiza and her family, who have come from Lanzarote, on their journey to Venezuela, where the memory of the sea and the island clashes with the roar of Caracas. The protagonist, gifted with the ability to calm animals and relieve the sick, feels overwhelmed by the big city. The narrative combines the memory of the volcanic landscape with the harshness of emigration and the need to start over.
The work is the second instalment of the Océano trilogy, which follows the protagonist family from the Canary Islands to Venezuela. Unabridged edition.
A read for those seeking Spanish fiction with travel, survival and the clash between island life and the big city.
