El legado de las diosas

Tuckova, Katerina

On the summits of the White Carpathians, in the community of Zítková, a few houses are crouched. Everything is far away. There, they say, from time immemorial a lineage of women with exceptional faculties has managed to preserve knowledge and insight that have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Healers, wise and seers, they transmit their art from mother to daughter, and are called "goddesses". If they say they see the future, why haven't they been able to protect themselves from theirs? Dora Idesová, the last of this line, has always been reluctant to share the beliefs of her predecessors. Or so it seems until a family drama separates her from her loved ones and awakens in her the need to know her roots, to understand the enigmatic goddesses. Her life changes abruptly when, at the end of 1990, in the archives of the Ministry of the Interior, she finds a file on her aunt, Terézie Surmenová, an alleged enemy of the regime who was subjected to strict surveillance until the end of her years. days. From that moment on, her investigation becomes a fascinating journey into the shadows and secrets of the past that drags us into the intrigue and exaltation of discovery. Dora manages to reconstruct the tragic destiny of her family, linked to an ancient curse, but also intertwined with the historical events that marked her country and that put the powers of the goddesses at the center of the interests first of the Nazis and later of the communists.
