In Pueblo, a coastal town of red wind, the sea returns its drowned, and one of them becomes a bride carrier, marking a woman's destiny. Years later, old Idalina digs in the garden, while a nun longing to be a mother, the children Lucas and Blanquita, and the idealist Federico complete the tableau.

For readers of literary fiction who enjoy stories with a rural atmosphere and touches of magical realism.
