Verónica García-Peña reinventa el género del thriller psicológico en esta novela en la que un peculiar personaje nos conducirá por los túneles de su memoria, nos envolverá en la bruma de un recóndito lugar y nos hará partícipes del puzle de su pasado para descubrir con él un gran secreto familiar.

Un misterio que la memoria ha velado. Un recuerdo que desvelará la verdad.

En 1936, Ricardo Pedreira Ulloa, un escritor atormentado por la pérdida de inspiración, decide volver al pazo familiar donde se crió, situado en una isla gallega. La aparición de una misteriosa mujer le devolverá su talento, pero también el recuerdo de una historia, enterrada por el olvido y los excesos, que se remonta diez años atrás. Un recuerdo a medias que lo persigue y le obliga a enfrentarse al enigma de su pasado. Una atmósfera asfixiante cuya neblina oculta una poderosa verdad.

«Esa noche en la que todo cambió para siempre, el océano de mi isla rugía con furia, presa, como yo, del dolor de los pecados cometidos. Y esa noche descubrí, también, más oscuros secretos que helaron mi sangre y achicaron, casi del todo, las lagunas de mi desmemoria».

«Frente a la puerta vieja y rancia del longevo faro, su forma se me antojó espectral, terrible y cargada de maldad. Sí, maldad que se respiraba y se sentía dentro y fuera, en la tierra y en el aire, e incluso en las primeras gotas de lluvia que comenzaban a caer, como lágrimas ardientes que auguraban que aquella noche de octubre de 1936, y las que la siguieron, lo cambiarían todo. ¿Puede un edificio ser malvado? Quizá la construcción como tal no, pero sí el corazón de los hombres que lo construyeron y utilizaron. El Faro del Amor. Sonaba tan romántico y evocador. En ese momento, frente a él, me preguntaba cuánto amor quedaba en el lugar. Nada. No quedaba nada. Se había esfumado como lo había hecho la bondad del alma de los que lo habían usado y habitado, dejando allí solo la huella de la consternación y la desesperanza, convirtiéndolo en un sitio sin corazón ni aliento. Un rincón relegado que subsistía a base de nostalgia e historias de otras épocas. Evocaciones de antaño que exigían vivir y ser libres de nuevo».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Verónica García-Peña 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.'"

Absolutely love this brand of ball for my dog
I end up replacing these every couple years, yep that's right, years. My border collie will grab this ball in his mouth and then kick another ball around. Don't know why he has to have something in his mouth to play soccer, but he is unique. He managed to tear one of these up when he was in his teething stage, but it took him months, and I took it away as soon as he managed to remove a piece of it. Otherwise, we usually lose these much more often than them getting destroyed through constant chewing, and I suspect heavy weathering outside for an extended period of time. Nowadays he doesn't chew on rubber nearly that often, he has developed his own picky preferences. This ball is his must have for playing around. He loves to drop it down the stairs and play fetch with himself. It's easy for him to grab, it isn't heavy so we don't worry about furnishing, walls, or family members when he is tossing it around. It is much more durable than most, with the exception of really heavy chewers/teething, even then it held up for a long time. As long as you are careful to remove it if they manage to chew through I would even try it out with teething puppies. The lawnmower is also this balls nemesis, it loses every time. If only I could convince the dog that he needs to stop sacrificing toys to the lawnmower :-)

Will Last!!!
My Saban is a black lab/pittie mix and is a very aggressive chewer with the bulldog jaws. I had bought the large ball for him and to be honest I didn't think it would be as big as it is or as heavy 😂😂😂!!! It's made of a very durable plastic and is holding up extremely well to his chewing on it!!! I'll be honest and say that unless you're using it outside and have some really good muscles in your arm that I would recommend buying this in the smaller size!!!! I normally play with him inside with his toys when the weather isn't good for going outside, but I don't throw this one inside because #1 it's so heavy and big that I can't throw it very good and # if I was to play with it inside I'm afraid the weight of it would break something!!! I would say that this is a great quality and very durable, but I wouldn't buy the large one again!!! I would definitely recommend this brand in a smaller size ball 👌 😊😊

Great product...wish you had color options
My dogs love these balls, but I wish you could choose the color. This is my dog's favorite toy. He can play tug of war with his siblings, and the ball usually lasts for quite awhile. Considering they are usually pretty destructive puppers, this is a minor miracle. But, I can't just pick his favorite color and get it delivered. I have to play roulette, and pray that his color is the one that I get when I open the box. If they can allow us to choose the color(s) that we want, then this review will be upgraded to 5 stars.

A silent toy that still holds a dog’s interest
We bought this large size for our Rottweiler- but it was our 45# dog who fell in love with it. Cooper is 16, has kidney disease, dementia and loss of muscle coordination; so, it was an absolute joy to watch him engage with this toy. His foot went through the ball once, but he figured it out. He pushes it with his nose, and tries to squeak it. He “talks” to it. We haven’t heard that in a long time. It’s light enough that he can lift it - and it rolls and bounces nicely. For him it’s perfect. Our Rottie seems to understand that it’s his toy. Now, that’s love and understanding.

A big hit!
Our Rottie loves these! I wanted something like the Jolly Ball but that is soft for inside the house. She's had a lot of fun with this, picking it up, tossing it, playing soccer, etc.
