An unforgettable novel about determination and the fight against destiny.

Isla de Buda, Delta del Ebro, 1961, Asun is an eleven-year-old girl full of aspirations and dreams who loves to learn at teacher Isidre’s school. Her parents, Mariano and Remedios, work in the rice fields of the Pons family, the owners of the island. Asun is aware that her mother's relationship with the lords, especially with Señorito Max, is tinged with silence and by chance she discovers that her mother was the owner of some of those lands. Everything changes for her with the unexpected death of Remedios. Her father decides that she should begin to serve in the Pons’ farmhouse, but the little girl is not willing to assume the fate that her condition has in store for her. She aspires to more, and thanks to a borrowed bicycle, her ingenuity, and strong determination she becomes one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the area. However, she’ll have to face the ghosts of the past to protect what she has fought so hard for.

After the success of her previous novels, Elena Moya returns with a story of attachments and dreams, of social classes, of struggle and will, that connects a past marked by war and the two Spains with a hopeful future in which women are the new protagonists.
