ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Ver nica Garc a-Pe a reinvents the psychological thriller genre in this novel in which a strange character will lead us through the tunnels of his memory, envelop us in the mist of a remote place, and make us participate in the puzzle of his past to discover with him a great family secret. A mystery that memory has revealed. A memory that will reveal the truth. In 1936, Ricardo Pedreira Ulloa, a writer tormented by the loss of inspiration, decides to return to the family manor where he grew up, located on a Galician island. The appearance of a mysterious woman will give him back his talent, but also the memory of a story, buried by oblivion and excesses, that goes back ten years. A half memory that haunts him and forces him to face the enigma of his past. A suffocating atmosphere whose haze hides a powerful truth. 'That night when everything changed forever, the ocean of my island roared with fury, trapped, like me, in the pain of the sins committed. And that night I also discovered more dark secrets that made my blood freeze and narrowed, almost completely, the gaps in my forgetfulness.' 'In front of the old and stale door of the long-lived lighthouse, its form seemed spectral, terrible and charged with evil. Yes, evil that was breathed in and felt both inside and outside, on the ground and in the air, and even in the first drops of rain that began to fall, like burning tears that foretold that that night in October 1936, and those that followed, would change everything. Can a building be evil? Perhaps not the construction itself, but the hearts of the men who built and used it. The Lighthouse of Love. It sounded so romantic and evocative. At that moment, in front of it, I wondered how much love was left in the place. Nothing. There was nothing left. It had vanished as had the goodness of the soul of those who had used and inhabited it, leaving only the trace of dismay and hopelessness, making it a place without heart or breath. A relegated corner that subsisted on nostalgia and stories from other times. Evocations of yesteryear that demanded to live and to be free again.'
