Mil mares de distancia

1898. Zoilo and Elisa watch their native Cartagena move away from the deck of the ocean liner that will take them to a new and uncertain life in Mexico. Driven by the violence of the mining riots in Spain, the wealthy couple are forced to flee before their workers rise up against them and their properties. However, shortly after the ship sails, Zoilo disappears under mysterious circumstances, leaving Elisa alone at a time when a woman's only recourse to survive unaided is her strength. At the same time that the young woman investigates the past of the man she loves, she faces a changing world and heralds the end of an era. Nacho Sánchez Carrasco writes this moving novel, impeccably documented, in which betrayal, love and the dangers of ambition weave a fascinating story.
