El bosque de los cuatro vientos
Oruña, María
At the beginning of the 19th century, Dr. Vallejo traveled from Valladolid to Galicia together with Marina, his young daughter, to serve as a doctor in a powerful monastery in Ourense. There they will discover a world and some very particular customs, and they will experience the fall of the Church and the definitive end of the Old Regime. Marina, interested in medicine and botany, but without permission to study, will fight against the social conventions that her time imposes on knowledge, love and freedom, and will embark on an adventure that, without intending to, will keep a secret more than a thousand years. This secret will survive to this day and will be part of a legend investigated by Jon Bécquer, an unusual anthropologist who works by locating lost historical pieces. As soon as she began her investigations, the corpse of a man dressed in a Benedictine habit typical of the 19th century appears in the garden of the old monastery. This fact will make Bécquer, accompanied by Sergeant Xocas, go into the forests of Galicia looking for answers and descending the surprising steps of time. In Galicia in 1830, a woman faced the conventions of her time. María Oruña is back with a historical thriller that will captivate you.
