Flora Rey is a woman forged in the heart of the rural world, dedicated to caring for her three daughters and enduring the abuse of an oppressive husband. However, the outbreak of the Civil War shakes the foundations of her village in Sierra Morena--and those of her own existence--pushing her to embark on a different path than the one she was destined for. Thus begins a journey of transformation marked by a divorce that challenges the most deeply rooted convictions of a land that throbs between the darkness of the mine and the weight of old customs. And amid the uncertainty, a spark of hope emerges when Flora's gaze meets that of photojournalist Georg Messner through the lens of his camera. Winner of the 2015 Círculo de Lectores Prize.
