Una poderosa saga familiar sobre la memoria, la pertenencia y el legado de una mujer destinada a reclamar aquello que el mar le arrebató.


La apasionante historia de una gran mujer destinada a reclamar lo que el mar le arrebató.


Un siglo después del naufragio del Valbanera, conocido como el "Titanic de los pobres", la periodista Mara Denis viaja a Canarias, desde donde sus antepasados partieron rumbo a Cuba en busca de un futuro mejor. Allí descubre que el nombre de su bisabuela figura entre las víctimas del naufragio. Pero cuanto más indaga en su historia al otro lado del océano, más evidente resulta que el pasado familiar guarda silencios difíciles de explicar.


Decidida a desentrañar la verdad, Mara emprende un viaje que la lleva de las Canarias y la Cuba de principios del siglo XX a la España de hoy, siguiendo las huellas de una mujer cuyo destino quedó ligado al mar.


Con una prosa delicada, Mirta Ojito entrelaza pasado y presente en dos hilos narrativos que dialogan a través de generaciones y construye una gran saga familiar sobre memoria, pertenencia, y la fuerza del pasado para transformar el presente.


Una emotiva historia repleta de recuerdos familiares, sensibilidad y ternura que nadie debería perderse . MARÍA DUEÑAS

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A powerful family saga about memory, belonging, and the legacy of a woman destined to reclaim what the sea took away.


The captivating story of a remarkable woman determined to recover what the ocean stole.


A century after the sinking of the Valbanera, known as the "Titanic of the poor", journalist Mara Denis travels to the Canary Islands, from where her ancestors once departed for Cuba in search of a better future. There she discovers that her great-grandmother's name appears among the victims of the shipwreck. Yet the deeper she investigates across the ocean, the clearer it becomes that her family's past holds silences difficult to explain.


Determined to uncover the truth, Mara embarks on a journey that takes her from the Canary Islands and Cuba of the early twentieth century to present-day Spain, following the traces of a woman whose destiny was bound to the sea.


With delicate prose, Mirta Ojito weaves past and present into two narrative threads that converse across generations, building a sweeping family saga about memory, belonging, and the power of the past to transform the present.


"An emotional story full of family memories, sensitivity, and tenderness that no one should miss." MARÍA DUEÑAS
