«Los hilos del corazón» is the magical realism novel by Carole Martinez, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
Frasquita Carrasco, a seamstress in a village in southern Spain, sews garments that seem to come to life, like a silk heart that beats beneath the robes of a Virgin. When her husband loses her in a bet, she flees with her children through an Andalusia in peasant uprisings at the end of the 19th century, on a journey that ends in Africa.
It belongs to the Andanzas collection from Tusquets. The original French novel, 'Le Cœur cousu', won the Prix Renaudot des lycéens.
For readers of historical fiction and magical realism interested in female protagonists and 19th-century Andalusia.
Carole Martinez is a French contemporary novelist.
