In the 19th century, in the villages of the Catalan Pyrenees, women from the humblest families dedicated themselves to the street sale of medicinal herbs and natural products. Known as 'trementinaires' for their use of turpentine, they traveled long distances to offer their products. This novel narrates the adventure of Dolors and Sofia, grandmother and granddaughter, two trementinaires who travel through Catalonia, facing dangers and discovering friendship and love in difficult times.
'Les dones sàvies de la muntanya' is a historical novel that immerses the reader in the lives of these brave and enterprising women, showing their struggle for survival and their connection with nature. A moving story that rescues from oblivion an ancestral trade and a feminine legacy of wisdom and resistance.
