  • Overview

    «¿Cómo es la memoria de lo que nunca llega a decirse en voz alta? Aroa Moreno Durán y su brutal capacidad para narrar el silencio de tres mujeres que se asoman al dolor con vértigo, pero sin miedo». —Belén Gopegui

    Adirane regresa a la casa familiar de su pueblo junto a la ría, en el norte del País Vasco, con la frágil excusa de registrar la última memoria de infancia de su abuela Ruth durante la Guerra Civil. Ha dejado atrás a su marido y a su hija de cinco años, sin siquiera una explicación, para intentar encontrar un nuevo punto de partida desde su propio pasado. En la casa vive también Adriana, su madre, con quien no se habla desde hace años.

    ¿Qué significa criar o cuidar de alguien bajo tres contextos históricos y políticos muy dispares y en un territorio casi permanentemente tensado? En esta novela, madres e hijas de diferentes generaciones irán tejiendo, con el ritmo y la fuerza de las mareas, una genealogía zarandeada por secretos familiares y enfrentamientos que hasta ahora las han mantenido alejadas, viviendo vidas separadas por los muros de lo que nunca se dice.

    Aroa Moreno Durán, con una prosa hermosa y evocadora, pero también visceral e inmisericorde, nos conduce por casi un siglo de nuestra historia reciente: el horror de la guerra, el desarraigo del exilio, los años del plomo, la casa vacía y la vida vencida, y aún más allá, desde los secretos del pasado hasta la huida del futuro.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    “How do you remember something that is never said out loud? Aroa Moreno Durán and his brutal ability to narrate the silence of three women who stare at pain dead center and without fear.” Belen Gopegui

     
    Adirane returns to her family home in the north of the Basque Country, in a town by the estuary with the poor excuse of recording the last memories of her grandmother Ruth's childhood during the Civil War. She left behind her husband and her five-year-old daughter, without even an explanation, to try to find a new starting point from her own past. Her mother Adriana, whom she has not spoken to for years, also lives in the house.
     
    What would it be like to raise or care for someone under three very different historical and political contexts, and in a place with almost permanently tension? In this novel, mothers and daughters from different generations will weave, with the rhythm and force of the tides, a genealogy shaken by family secrets and confrontations that until now have kept them apart; living lives separated by the divisions of what has never been spoken about.
     
    With a beautiful and haunting prose, while at the same time visceral and merciless, Aroa Moreno Durán leads us through almost a century of a recent history: the horrors of war, the uprooting of exile, the years of pain, the empty house, and a defeated life, and even beyond that, from the secrets of the past to the flight of the future.
