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

BY THE AUTHOR OF LA CASA DE LA MINA

Amid wars, impossible loves, and twists of fate, a grand 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 the reader on every page and teaches us that there are nets that sustain us, but there are also those that suffocate us.

Vigo, 1889. Catalina and Delaira grow up sewing nets in O Berbés, a humble fishing neighborhood where the future seems predetermined. While one accepts her fate by the sea, the other dreams of escaping to leave behind 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 for them… as well as challenges they never imagined.

Because life, like the sea, gives no warning when it’s going 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.
