Corridors of Shadow

Clara Soutelo is a sixteen-year-old girl who spends her summers in the town of Vilarelle in Galicia. She descends from a well-to-do family that was on the winning side in Spain’s Civil War and that occupies the manor house in Vilarelle. All the local families look up to them, and Clara has taken this attitude for granted. That is until the summer of 1995, when a skeleton is discovered in the manor house during restoration work. It has been walled up for many years, perhaps since the time of the Civil War, and the skull has a bullet hole. Clara also discovers a ring bearing the initial ‘R’. What is the identity of the victim, and who wielded the murder weapon? The search for the discovery of the truth will lead Clara into her family’s inglorious past through the witness of the town’s inhabitants, and will also sow the seeds of romance between her and a young mechanic by the name of Miguel, descendant of the bookbinder Ishmael, with whom she shares the secret pleasure of reading.

Passadissos d’ombra

Unes obres de restauració al pazo dels Soutelo trauen a la llum un cadàver emparedat cinquanta anys enrere, amb un forat de bala al cap. Qui és el mort? Quina mà va empunyar la pistola que el va assassinar? Clara Soutelo, testimoni involuntari del descobriment, assumeix el repte de desvelar el misteri que s’amaga darrere d’ aquestes preguntes.

Comença així una investigació complicada que la portarà a indagar el passat familiar. Molt de temps després, ja adulta, decideix narrar els fets d’ aquell estiu en què tenia setze anys, quan va descobrir la plenitud del primer amor i va canviar per sempre la seua manera d’ entendre la vida.
