A mother, a son, and an unexpected revelation. Sometimes, the longest journey is inward.
When Aurora begins to lose her memory, she asks her son: "And your brother, where is he?" A phrase that might seem ordinary if it weren’t for the fact that this son, fifty-three years old, has always believed he was an only child. Does this brother really exist, or is it a hallucination? What happens when a vital certainty crumbles? Do a mother’s blurry memories weigh more, or the truths that emerge through the cracks of family arguments?
To figure it out, mother and son set off on a campervan trip with their old little dog to Vera de Bidasoa, a mountain village where Aurora lived as a young woman, marked by the oppressive presence of the Sección Femenina.
Máximo Huerta delivers a moving novel about what is left unsaid, what is forgotten, and what, despite the passage of time, never completely disappears.
