«Son de Mar» is the novel by Manuel Vicent, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (271 pages, in Spanish).
The plot begins when a man disappears at sea; his wife, after eight years of waiting, tries to rebuild her life with a powerful builder. A call in which someone claims to be her husband upends her new stability and rekindles a passion she thought was extinguished, in a story of love and desire with echoes of classical myth.
The novel won the Alfaguara Prize for Fiction in 1999.
It will appeal to readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and to those familiar with Dénia and the Marina Alta region, whose coastal landscapes appear in the novel.
