Estimada Mirta

Forbidden loves, the revolt for freedom, the remorse of an old man: an ambitious and exciting novel about a lineage of Mallorcans settled in the turbulent Argentina of the twentieth century. Buenos Aires, 1947. Francisco disembarks from the ship that took him to the unreachable continent. At just sixteen, he is still mourning the fact that he has left his family and beloved Mallorca behind to try his luck on the other side of the Atlantic. He began as an apprentice in the factory of the prosperous businessman Don Gaspar, where he did not miss the opportunity to ascend and facilitate the establishment of the rest of his family in Buenos Aires. But in the tumultuous Argentina of the mid-twentieth century, the sweet privileges of social ascension are paid for at a high cost that Francisco cannot imagine.
