La llave del espejo

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, July 1895. The day young Julianne left Liverpool behind and disembarked in the exotic port of Tenerife with her father, who was ill with tuberculosis, not only did she change her way of looking at the world, but she also learned to Forget your past in order to survive. This historical novel is an intimate portrait of the passionate life of an early 20th-century impressionist painter, Julianne North: the effervescence of first love and her expectant gaze on her country's suffragette movement, her vulnerability as a woman, and her survival during the First World War are the elements that form the backbone of this beautiful story full of courage and tenacity. It also offers the reader a trip to the lavish world of modern art by the hand of Gabriel Koons, appraiser for Christie's, who will begin a frenetic artistic investigation against the clock in settings such as New York, Berlin or Berne, in order to demonstrate the relationship between the magnetic work La llave del espejo with one of the most important painters of the last century. A fiction with a spectacular setting, which claims the visibility of women artists who lived and died anonymously.
