La bajamar

Adirane returns to her family home in her town by the estuary, in the north of the Basque Country, with the fragile excuse of recording her grandmother Ruth's last childhood memory during the Civil War. She has left her husband and her five-year-old daughter behind, without even an explanation, to try to find a new starting point from her own past. Adriana, her mother, also lives in her house, with whom she has not spoken for years. What does it mean to raise or care for someone under three very different historical and political contexts and in an almost permanently tense territory? In this novel, mothers and daughters from different generations will weave, with the rhythm and force of the tides, a genealogy shaken by family secrets and confrontations that until now have kept them apart, living lives separated by the walls of what is never said.
