A professionally tortured writer –who’s also a drunkard, a misanthrope and a textbook degenerate– flees his life and takes refuge in a spa in Monegáster that’s seen better days. His third marriage has failed due to his wife’s maternal obsessions, the catalyst of his crisis and the whole story’s point of convergence.

An interesting story of the life and work of a Spanish woman who ended her days exiled in Chile, because of her participation in the II Spanish Republic government.

Young Cara Piqueres lives with her family in a big city and leads an apparently normal life. However, when night falls and her father returns home, preceded always by The Shadow, the nightmare begins. Sitting on the edge of her bed at night, her sister, Nato, tells her bedtime stories and it is only thanks to these that she can avoid some of the pain and anger that fill her home daily.

This story was inspired by some embroidery made by Práscedes, great aunt of the author. The hundred year old needlework reflects her exuberant and mischievous imagination in defiance of the mundane reality in which she lived. A delightful story full of humour and sensitivity created through the collaboration of twin spirits separated by three generations.
