Julio Carrion Gonzalez, a man of tremendous wealth and influence in Madrid, has come home to be buried. But as the family stand by the graveside, his son Alvaro notices the arrival of a stranger - a young and attractive woman. No one appears to know who she is, or why she is there. Alvaro's questions only deepen when the fa mily inherits an enormous amount of money that is a surprise even to them. In his father's study Alvaro discovers an old folder with letters sent to his father in Russia between 1941 and 1943, faded photos of people he never met and a locked grey metal box. The woman is Raquel Fernandez Perea, the daughter of Spaniards who fled during the Civil War. One episode in her past has marked her forever - the only time she saw her grandfather cry. Her fate and that of the family, now hangs on the secrets of Julio's past. ... Leer resumen completo

THE WIND FROM THE EAST

ALMUDENA GRANDES

PHOENIX (ORION), 2007

Resumen del libro

"The Wind from the East will sweep the reader away with its literary force, rhythm and narrative structure drawing you in with a distillation of human passions that are almost always in conflict with each other."-The European Internationally celebrated Almudena Grandes' finest work yet is a blend of two narratives set alter nately in Madrid and an Andalusian town by the sea. Sara GA3mes Morales, given up at birth to be raised by her wealthy godmother, is betrayed on her sixteenth birthday when she is forced to leave her godmother's home and return to live with her estranged parents in poverty. Tortured by resentment and the loneliness of belonging to neither place, she searches for solace in a coastal town. Parallel to Sara's story is the story of Juan and Damian Olmedo, brothers in love with the same woman. One night an argument incited by jealousy leads Damian to stumble down a flight of stairs and fall to his death. Suspected of murdering his younger brother, Juan flees to the same village that served as Sara's escape. Deftly engaging, The Wind from the East is an epic tale of love and redemption. Almudena Grandes' writing has been compared to the work of classic and contemporary voices such as the BrontA sisters and Isabel Allende. ... Leer resumen completo
