  1. 1. Mararia.

    Set in a small Canary Islands village, the novel traces the life of an enigmatic, fiercely independent woman whose beauty and defiance make her both desired and vilified; through a patchwork of testimonies, memories and the narrator’s reflections, the book reconstructs her tragic loves, social isolation and the community’s relentless gossip, exploring themes of fate, marginalization and the way myth and reality entwine in a close-knit society.
