Punto de araña

Called by the spirit of the sea and the wind that beats against every door, Ari arrives in Camariñas, a labyrinthine town that feels strangely familiar, to manage the lace museum and work as a tour guide, unaware that the local women have made a decision about to change everything. Fed up with the selfishness of the absent men, who control the money and the decisions, and with having to speak for everyone without having their own voice, the lacemakers -who are also net menders, shellfish gatherers, and cannery workers- decide to end this situation in a drastic and dangerous way: by calling upon the spiders. Three deities endowed with ancestral power and wisdom. Nerea Pallares's dazzling debut novel is a maritime and choral work, sprinkled with the foam of waves crashing against the rocks and woven with the voices of three generations of women who rebel against injustice. An ode to those who weave the invisible nets that sustain us; To the hands that, in silence, intertwine the world and to the hands of friends, a network of networks.
