Donde retumba el silencio

Leonor is almost eighty. Returning from a walk through a city silenced by the pandemic quarantine, she notices a for-sale sign on the flat above her own, where Elvira lives: a beloved friend she no longer speaks to, after political quarrels wore away decades of closeness. Apart, neither woman can stop thinking of the other, or of how they met in the 1970s in the housing blocks of the Los Andes estate and how their friendship grew. The novel follows how politics and history seep into private life until they cost people what they love most.
