Cuando lo has perdido todo, no hay nada que puedan arrebatarte.
Un relato emocionante sobre la libertad y la capacidad de resistencia del ser humano.
Una de las mejores voces de la literatura española contemporánea.
«Me están echando el cerco, y no es el viento.»
Tras una juventud de excesos, Angie vive retirada -casi atrincherada- en una aldea recóndita del sur. Para los vecinos es la loca que se deja ver en compañía de sus perros. Su existencia transcurre en el viejo caserón familiar, en un cruce continuado de dos tiempos: el presente y el pasado. Tan solo tiene a sus fantasmas y el recuerdo del amor vivido con un artista inglés en el Londres olvidado de Margaret Thatcher.
El hallazgo del cuerpo ahorcado del terrateniente más poderoso de la comarca lleva a Angie a desenterrar viejos secretos familiares y a descubrir el hilo fatal de muerte, incomprensión y silencio que une a todos en la comarca. ¿Es el aislamiento? ¿Son los nogales, que secretan una sustancia venenosa? ¿O acaso la melancolía de los húngaros, que llegaron hace siglos con sus baúles y violines? Angie sabe que, cuando lo has perdido todo, no hay nada que puedan arrebatarte.
La forastera es un western contemporáneo en el territorio áspero de una España olvidada. Un relato estremecedor y emocionante sobre la libertad y la capacidad de resistencia del ser humano.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
When you have lost everything, there is nothing that can be taken from you.
An exciting story about human freedom and resilience.
One of the best voices in contemporary Spanish literature.
"They are encircling me, and it's not the wind."
After a youth of excesses, Angie lives withdrawn -almost entrenched- in a remote village in the south. To the neighbors she is the crazy woman who's only seen in the company of her dogs. Her existence takes place in the old family house, in a continuous intersection of two times: the present and the past. She has only her ghosts and the memory of the love she had with an English artist in the forgotten London of Margaret Thatcher.
The discovery of the hanged body of the most powerful landowner in the region leads Angie to unearth old family secrets and to discover the fatal thread of death, misunderstanding, and silence that unites everyone in the region. Is it isolation? Is it the walnuts, which secrete a poisonous substance? Or, perhaps it's the melancholy of the Hungarians, who arrived centuries ago with their trunks and violins? Angie knows that when you have lost everything, there is nothing that can be taken from you.
The Stranger is a contemporary western in the rugged territory of a forgotten Spain. A thrilling and exciting story about human freedom and endurance.
