Description
Two sisters and a mother who don’t tell each other the whole truth. Four days etched deeply in our collective memory. Another unforgettable novel by Fernando Aramburu.
San Sebastián, July 1997. While her husband is away on a work trip, Maite receives her sister Elene, who, after spending many years in the United States, returns to their city because their mother has suffered a stroke. During the days they spend together, the sisters and their mother live and talk together but avoid telling each other the whole truth. They also avoid facing the social tension around them: ETA has kidnapped a councilor from Ermua, Miguel Ángel Blanco, and threatens to execute him if their demands are not met. The historical events run parallel to Maite’s private life, a sensitive, compassionate, attentive woman, but trapped by conventions that prevent her from opening her eyes and facing reality. Fernando Aramburu has done it again: he delivers an emotional and unforgettable novel, another milestone in his storytelling that establishes him as one of the great European narrators of the moment; a story that looks back at the recent memory of the Basque Country and whose characters, portrayed with psychological depth and profound humanity, move us deeply, especially its immense and memorable protagonist.
