«A esfinxe de amaranto» is the contemporary fiction novel by Antón Riveiro Coello, published by Editorial Galaxia in paperback (308 pages, in Galician).
The narrative follows a family with origins in the East and in the dry Galician borderland through the voices of its women, who had to endure it rather than live it. Among the characters stand out the Portuguese founder with a dark past in Macao, Rosa, heir to culinary knowledge passed down from generation to generation, and Verónica, the last representative of a saga of women who fight to survive without renouncing their personality. A final dinner, from which the true family history is reconstructed, reveals secrets and intrigues hidden for generations.
It is volume 198 of the Literaria collection from Editorial Galaxia; the edition is the first, with a publication date of 26 November 2003.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Galician narrative and family novels in which memory, shame and remorse run through the lives of several generations.
