Synopsis "La Marca del Agua / Watermark (in Spanish)"

Una nueva y poderosa voz. Una novela sobre nuestro pasado«Una historia que da voz a los que la perdieron y sentido a su emoción desde la literatura. Una novela muy especial. --Julio Llamazares 19 de abril de 1950. El agua ya ha alcanzado la piedra que sirve de testigo: en menos de diez días Hontanar desaparecerá para siempre inundado por el pantano. Todos están celebrando la inauguración del pueblo nuevo, solo quedan allí los hermanos Cristóbal. Pero un suceso terrible les obliga a emprender precipitadamente el viaje: Marcos descubre a su hermana Sara colgada de un machón de la cuadra. Envuelta en la colcha que bordó durante años para un ajuar que ya nunca será utilizado y oculta entre sacos de patatas, Sara recorre ese camino en el carro de su hermano. Después de todo, siempre quiso irse del pueblo. Durante el trayecto por un territorio que es ya un páramo, Marcos recuerda la historia de la familia, sus sombras y silencios: la llegada siendo unos niños cuyo origen su madre quiso esconder, los deseos de Sara por construirse una vida propia, la obsesión de la madre por el pretendiente perfecto que le procurase una buena boda, los sentimientos e impulsos no confesados, las traiciones y la relación con el ingeniero falangista encargado de las obras del pantano... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A new and powerful voice. A novel about our past. "A story that gives a voice to those who lost their own, that gives sense to their emotions from literature. A very special novel." -Julio Llamazares. April 19th, 1950. The water has reached the stone that serves as witness. In less than ten days, Hontanar will forever disappear, flooded by the swamp. Everyone is celebrating the inauguration of the new town. Only the Cristóbal siblings remain. But a horrible incident makes them leave hastily: Marcos finds his sister, Sara, hanging by a buttress at the stable. Wrapped in the quilt she spent years embroidering as part of the wedding linen she would never use, concealed among sacks of potatoes, Sara travels the roads in her brother's cart. After all, she had always wanted to leave the village. Traveling through a place that is already a wasteland, Marcos remembers his family's story, their silence and shadows: how they arrived when they were just children (something their mother tried to hide), Sara's wish to make a life of her own, their mother's obsession with a perfect suitor that would give her a nice weeding, the feelings and impulses they never confessed, betrayals, and a relationship with a falangist engineer in charge of the swamp project...
