Luciana

Dublin, the 1960s. Amid the sweet smoke of pubs, the aroma of peat burning in chimneys, and the echo of a city that no longer exists, Luciana embarks on a search for the daughter she lost decades earlier while working as a nanny for the Lago family. Luciana arrived in Ireland as a young girl. There she learned hard work, but she also discovered a new world and, with it, a series of events that would forever shape her destiny. As she tries to piece together the story of the baby she was forced to give up for adoption, the cracks in a seemingly respectable family are exposed: a mother lost in the frivolity of social life and a brilliant and seductive father, a professor at the legendary Trinity College. With sensitivity and humanity, this novel explores the wounds of abandonment, the strength of bonds that survive the test of time, and the need to find a place to belong. A moving tale of love, loss, and loyalty, set between Spain and an unforgettable Dublin that remains vivid in the memory long after the book is closed.
