About the Book

Por la autora de Mujeres que compran flores

«¿Una historia es como fue o como se la recuerda? El tiempo se construye a partir de combinaciones de vidas puestas a fuego lento. En un mismo crisol de años mezclar los sabores, las tinturas, la luna y el sol, los metales, las estaciones, los vivos y los muertos. El tiempo pone la mezcla a cocer y los elementos se transforman en un solo compuesto: el pasado».

Vanessa Montfort, con una voz única, nos deleita con una historia que entrelaza con gran sensibilidad el presente y el pasado de una familia marcada por la guerra civil española. Este hilo llevará a Eva Alcocer a descifrar las claves de la historia de su familia, así como la memoria de todo un país. ¿Conseguirá con esto descubrir cuál es ese misterioso ingrediente que le falta para sentir que su vida tiene sentido?

El lirismo y la frescura en el estilo de la autora, así como su capacidad para convertir la realidad en algo extraordinario, atraparán a cualquiera que se deje absorber por esta fascinante novela sobre la búsqueda de la felicidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

By the author of Women Who Buy Flowers.

"Is a story as it happened, or as it is remembered? Time is constructed out of a combination of lives simmering over low heat. In a same crucible of years, mix tastes, tinctures, the moon and the sun, metals, seasons, the living and the dead. Time cooks the mixture and the elements transform into one single compound--the past."

With a unique voice, Vanessa Montfort delights us with a story that intertwines, with great sensitivity, the past and present of a family marked by the Spanish Civil War. This thread will take Eva Alcocer to decipher the clues of her family history, as well as the memory of an entire nation. Will she finally discover that mysterious ingredient she has been missing to feel like her life has meaning?

The lyricism and freshness in the author's style, along with her ability to transform reality into something extraordinary, will capture anyone willing to be absorbed by this fascinating novel about the search for happiness.
