Bennet

Author's name: Adelaida García Morales

Binet, a mysterious gypsy girl, appears in the life of a small family, and nothing is ever the same again. In an atmosphere of magic and strangeness, we follow the successive events of the novel through the eyes of Angela, the little girl who watches the gypsy girl with amazement and apprehension. In a world that changes and crumbles around her, the little girl wonders about Binet's unknown past and her vague present. She also wonders about love, and it appears to her as something nebulous and mysterious, yet surrounded by an aura of innocence that absolves lovers of responsibility for their actions.

With polished language and delicate narration, the author depicts the features of isolation and abandonment in the middle of the last century in the Spanish countryside. There, reality is colored by dreams, solitude blends with the sounds of the night, and hopes collide with fears.

Between the covers of this literary masterpiece, drawn from life experiences and childhood, we meet again with Adelaida García Morales, the Spanish writer who has won several prestigious literary awards.
