In this moving novel, Fernando Aramburu recounts the aftermath of a real-life tragedy that occurred in the Basque Country in 1980: a gas explosion at a school in Ortuella. Through the character of Nicasio, a grandfather who visits his late grandson's grave weekly, the work masterfully explores the devastating impact of this event on a family, revealing how grief and loss transform their lives in unexpected ways. With precise and deeply human literary style, Aramburu constructs an unforgettable story that is part of his 'Gentes Vascas' series. It is a psychological and social exploration that invites reflection on the fragility of human nature, establishing itself as a fundamental piece of contemporary Spanish narrative.
