El libro de los amigos perdidos

Louisiana, 1875. In the tumultuous Age of Reconstruction, three young women set out on a risky mission together: Hannie, a freed slave; Lavinia, the spoiled heir to a plantation that has been taken from her; and Juneau Jane, Lavinia's half-breed stepsister. Each of them bears their own wounds and holds deep secrets as they set out on a journey to Texas through highways filled with vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a long-lost war. Lavinia and Juneau Jane travel through a stolen inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, separated from her mother and siblings before the end of slavery, the westward pilgrimage rekindles a question that haunts her: Could her family be there? , long lost, still there? Louisiana, 1987. For the young teacher Benedetta Silva, a subsidized job in a humble rural school seems like the perfect opportunity to pay off the debt she has incurred for her studies... until she lands in a small and outdated city on the banks of the Mississippi River. The people of Augustine, Louisiana, are reluctant to embrace new inhabitants and ideals, and Benny can barely fathom the difficult lives of his poverty-stricken students. But among the sturdy oak trees that still stand and the ruined plantations, lies the centuries-old story of three young women, a journey into the past, and a hidden book that could change everything.
