El tiempo de la sal

It was the time of lights and their shadows, of the people drowned by the city. In the Vigo of 1878, only the sea remains unchanged, and Sabela, a young worker in the twilight salting industry, clings to it, entangled in the past as the only way to face the future. Until one summer holiday a stranger crosses into her life who seems to know her better than a friend, a foreigner with whom she shares more than with any neighbor, a man who begins to live after traveling twenty thousand leagues with his imagination. The time of salt is an intimate novel in which reality and fiction are intertwined, where it is explored from the depths of an estuary that hides secrets buried in the distant battle of Rande to the surface of the relations of the embryonic nineteenth-century Vigo bourgeoisie. A story to discover that even the greatest and most unexpected adventures begin with a first step, and that it is never too late to start a journey.
