«Pepa Niebla» is the novel by Torcuato Luca de Tena, published by Planeta in 1970 in hardcover (489 pages, in Spanish).
The work takes the form of the memoirs of Jaime Gades Dartmoore, a Spanish-British man who settles on Los Mosquitos, an imaginary island in the Bahamas archipelago. There he meets Pepa Niebla, a Black beggar woman, and becomes involved in a love story marked by mental illness and racial barriers. Intrigue, tenderness and humor combine in this realistic fable.
Novel awarded the Premio Ateneo de Sevilla in 1970. The author would later develop the same theme in Los renglones torcidos de Dios.
A read for those seeking twentieth-century Spanish fiction with intrigue, marginal characters and a psychological backdrop.
Spanish writer and journalist (1923-1999)
