La cena de las ánimas

Iride has lived for years far from Padria, the rugged and sun-drenched village in northern Sardinia where she spent her childhood, and only her father's funeral has brought her back to the grand family mansion, where everything remains exactly as it was. She will once again be able to celebrate the traditional All Souls' Day dinner with her old nanny, a dinner where the table is adorned with the finest china and linens to honor the deceased members of the family… By chance or by fate, an old photograph leads her to Mimì, her rebellious great-great-grandmother; then, she discovers the story of her unhappy marriage, her deep friendship with the Englishwoman Elisabeth Hope—a free and independent woman—and her impetuous love for the legendary bandit Emanuele Manca. Can Iride uncover the origin of the curse that seems to mark the fate of the women in the family and break her own?
