Cuando las tortugas vuelen

That summer, everyone resisted moving forward, and Salamanca watched them with the languor that comes from being very old and wiser. When the two-time Olympic canoeing champion offered Lidia the chance to look after his son Hugo during the summer holidays, she told herself that a sabbatical would do her good to clear her head about her professional future. Neither of them could have imagined what that would ultimately mean. A story of entanglements like the Garden of Calixto and Melibea, by the ancient city wall. Of losses and encounters in the Plaza Mayor and its sun-drenched terraces. Of summer nights along the banks of the Tormes. Of transparent glances through the stained-glass windows of the Casa Lis. A stroll through the recesses of the heart, where one can be brave while trembling with fear.
