✍️ ChatZona's review
Sonsoles Ónega built a family saga from solid narrative material: exchanged babies, the weight of kept secrets and the Galician landscape of the early twentieth century. The writing is effective and the pace sustained. It may not reach the psychological depth of the great historical novels, but it delivers generously what it promises. A Premio Planeta winner that will not disappoint readers who enjoy stories of identity and family heritage.
