About the Book

El hijo repudiado de una familia vasca venida a menos se enfrenta desde Nueva York a la tierra y al conflicto que abandonó décadas atrás.

«Secretos de familia y un odio viejo que se renueva en cada generación. Esta novela nos habla de la violencia desde un lugar tan íntimo que nos fascina y estremece, y eleva el conflicto a una tragedia clásica. Ahí está el negro corazón de los humanos. Pero también la esperanza.» Rosa Montero

Borja trabaja como traductor en un organismo internacional de Nueva York, donde vive con John, su pareja. Una noche recibe una llamada de una prima olvidada para comunicarle que su hermano acaba de morir y que tiene algo que darle. Hace mucho, en los noventa, Borja abandonó el País Vasco para romper con una familia y una tierra intoxicadas por el odio y la incomprensión. En Estados Unidos se convirtió en otra persona, alguien que, con las raíces arrancadas y un pasado sepultado, abrazó un presente vivido en libertad y en otra lengua. Pero una llamada puede bastar para derribar los muros más altos. Ahora él, hijo maldito de una estirpe venida a menos, es el único heredero del caserón abandonado que domina el mar desde lo alto del pueblo de Algorta. Solo él puede abrir de nuevo la puerta y decidir qué hacer con tantos años de silencio y dolor. Pero cerrar las heridas no es fácil y el empeño de escribir un libro sobre aquel pasado tal vez contribuya a reavivarlas.

Ortiz de Gondra firma una punzante exploración sobre la identidad, la memoria y la posibilidad de construir un destino propio al margen del que nos impone la familia y del que nos marca nuestra tierra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The disowned son of a Basque family in decline comes back from New York to the land and the conflict that he left decades ago.

Family secrets and an old hatred that is renewed in each generation. This novel tells us about violence from a place so intimate that it fascinates and shakes us, and elevates the conflict to a classic tragedy. In it you will find the black heart of humans. But also hope.' Rosa Montero

Borja works as a translator for an international organization in New York, where he lives with John, his partner. One night he receives a call from a forgotten cousin to inform him that his brother has just died and that she has something to give him. Long ago, in the nineties, Borja left the Basque Country to break up with a family and a land intoxicated by hatred and misunderstanding. In the United States, he became another person, someone who, with roots uprooted and a buried past, embraced a present lived in freedom and in another language. But one call may be enough to bring down the highest walls. Now he, the cursed son of a descended lineage, is the only heir to the abandoned mansion that dominates the sea from the top of the town of Algorta. Only he can open the door again and decide what to do with so many years of silence and pain. But closing the wounds is not easy and the effort to write a book about that past may only help to rekindle them.

Ortiz de Gondra creates a poignant exploration of identity, memory, and the possibility of constructing our own destiny apart from that imposed on us by family and land.
