A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Remember this name: Cristina Sanchez-Andrade. She is, without question, one of the most powerful female voices the Spanish literature has produced.
"La Razon""

Cristina-Sanchez-Andrade is, simply, one of the best writers in Spain. Her language is vastly rich. A memorable narration. A flawless and unusual novel.
"El Correo Gallego""

Cristina Sanchez-Andrade offers us a delightful story with traces of the great classics of Spanish literature, skillfully combining fiction and historical facts . . .The rationing of intrigue is excellent, enriched by a subtle and witty sense of humour. The Winterlings become two characters both perverse and intimate that will stay with the reader long after they finish reading.
El Boomerang"

The most beautiful book I ve ever read . . .While I was reading it . . .a feeling of unrivalled beauty got me. Now, three weeks after finishing the novel, "The Winterlings" is still in my heart.
Cambio16"

A perfectly well balanced mixture of tenderness and ferocity . . .Everything is narrated with extreme sensitivity, with a surprising style, at the crossroads between lyricism, pure narrative and humor. --El Cultural

"The Winterlings" possesses an elegant, clear and direct prose that smoothly grabs the reader s sensitivity, one that also manages to be blunt and acid . . .A marvelous narrator and writer. --Que Leer

Something radically new in Spanish literature, original and unusual. --Manuel Rivas

Présentation de l'éditeur

Finalist for the Herralde Novel Prize Two sisters return to the small parish of Tierra de Cha in Galicia after a long absence, to the former home of their grandfather, from which they fled when they were just children. At Tierra de Cha, nothing and everything has changed: the people, the distant little house in the rain, the acrid smell of gorse, the flowers, the crops, the customs. Yet the return of the sisters disrupts the placid existence of the villagers, stirring up memories best left alone. When news arrives that the famous American actress Ava Gardner will be shooting a movie in Spain and that lookalikes are wanted, the sisters have a chance to make their dreams come true. But the past is catching up with the present, and the family secrets that led to the Winterlings' return won't stay buried for long.
