La restauradora

Susana Leyva, a young art restorer, receives her first significant commission: to restore a 16th-century carving of a crucified Christ in a village in inland Andalusia. Around this image unfolds a plot steeped in mystery, where the traditions and deep-rooted community of the village come to light, uniting and accompanying the characters through time and silence. As she progresses in her work, Susana unravels what lies hidden beneath the layers: in the carving, in others, and in herself. Because not everything broken can be restored by hand. She discovers the complexities of maturity, the dilemmas that shape her path, and an intimate drama that intertwines with the experiences and longings of those around her, all in need of encouragement and solace. In the end, a profound and open question remains: what is the purpose of art? Narrated from the everyday and with a keen eye for detail, this rural novel paints a portrait of a reality where the past weighs as heavily as the present. And, in the midst of that scenario, Susana: trying to piece together the fragments without getting lost in the process.
