Asturias as the narrative setting
The decision to set the plot in Asturias is fundamental. The landscapes and distinctive atmosphere of this land not only decorate the story, but merge with the central conflict, giving it greater depth and emotional texture. The novel examines how blood ties and individual choices intertwine, shaping a story where emotions and their repercussions take center stage.
Central elements of the plot:- The conflict and connection between two sisters.
- The influence of the Asturian environment on character development.
- The consequences of acts of betrayal and the sacrifices they entail.
In this story, love does not save everything.
A reflection on love and its limits
Uceda constructs a literary proposal that questions the traditional romantic view of love as a force that redeems everything. Through the experiences of the protagonists, the work reveals the limitations and nuances of this feeling, offering a more authentic and less sweetened portrait of human dynamics.
Aspects explored by the novel:- The deconstruction of the redemptive love ideal.
- The nuances and contradictions in family relationships.
- The personal cost and sacrifices that loving often entails.
The creative process behind the work
The author shared these reflections in a conversation with the Europa Press agency, emphasizing the conceptual core of her book. The narrative progresses by demonstrating that, at times, loving involves facing harsh realities and accepting losses, far from any guaranteed happy ending. The work thus positions itself as a read that invites thinking beyond clichés. ✍️
