An author has presented his fourth novel, Lo que vuelve, in Santurtzi. This nearly 450-page work revisits the imaginary town of Gezalaga, on the Bizkaia coast, where three characters, burdened by their pasts and life's difficulties, find their destinies intertwined with the arrival of people brought by the sea.
The presentation took place at the baroque palace of Torre Jauregia in Santurtzi, on the eve of the centenary celebration of Book Day. During the event, other writers, including a suspense author and a science fiction creator, praised the novelist's style and narrative ability.
“"There is a wave of immigrants arriving on the coast that no one can explain, no one knows why, no one knows how, and no one knows who they are."
The novel's plot unfolds in Gezalaga, a fictional town inspired by real places such as Santurtzi, Bermeo, or Elantxobe. The story begins with a disturbing event: a mysterious wave of immigrants arriving on the coast. The novel revolves around three complex protagonists: a woman with memory problems, a far-right politician, and a young woman who leads a denialist group.
Lo que vuelve is presented as a work that balances fast-paced entertainment with emotional introspection, while reflecting on contemporary issues such as immigration, far-right politics, and denialism, all through deeply humanized characters who carry the traumas of a past that continues to haunt them.
