Las Tejedoras del Mar / The Weavers of the Sea

POR LA AUTORA DE LA CASA DE LA MINA.

Entre guerras, amores imposibles y reveses del destino, una gran saga hist鏎ica que arranca en el convulso Vigo de finales del siglo XIX. Con una narrativa delicada y envolvente, Maica Gorgal teje una historia que emociona en cada p墔ina y nos ense鎙 que hay redes que nos sostienen, pero tambi幯 las hay que ahogan.

Vigo, 1889. Catalina y Delaira crecen cosiendo redes en O Berb廥, un humilde barrio marinero donde el futuro parece escrito de antemano. Mientras una acepta su destino junto al mar, la otra sue鎙 con escapar para dejar atr嫳 la pobreza y el salitre que todo lo impregna.

Pero el mundo est?cambiando. La llegada del Cable Ingl廥, el esplendor de la burgues燰 y las tensiones sociales abren ante ellas caminos impensables... y tambi幯 desaf甐s que jam嫳 imaginaron.

Porque la vida, como el mar, no avisa cuando va a golpear. Y cuando lo haga, pondr?a prueba la amistad entre ambas con p廨didas irreparables, decisiones dif獳iles y promesas que marcar嫕 no solo su futuro, sino tambi幯 el de sus hijos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

There are novels that aren't just read: they're lived. This is one of them.

BY THE AUTHOR OF THE HOUSE OF THE MINE.

Between wars, impossible loves, and twists of fate, a great historical saga that begins in the turbulent Vigo of the late 19th century. With a delicate and immersive narrative, Maica Gorgal weaves a story that moves us on every page and teaches us that there are nets that hold us up, but there are also those that suffocate us.

Vigo, 1889. Catalina and Delaira grow up sewing nets in O Berb廥, a humble fishing town where the future seems predetermined. While one accepts her destiny by the sea, the other dreams of escaping to leave behind the poverty and the salt air that permeates everything.

But the world is changing. The arrival of the English Cable, the splendor of the bourgeoisie, and social tensions open up unthinkable paths before them... but also challenges they never imagined.

Because life, like the sea, gives no warning when it is about to strike. And when it does, it will test their friendship with irreparable losses, difficult decisions, and promises that will shape not only their future, but also that of their children.
