Overview
Tras el éxito de La maestra gitana, Lola Cabrillana vuelve con una novela aún más punzante, emotiva y valiente.
Con la llegada del verano, Zaira deja de lado su faceta de maestra para echar una mano en el chiringuito que su familia regenta en la playa de Benalmádena. Son los meses de más trabajo, pero también de más beneficio para sus primos, con los que mantiene una estrecha relación desde que se quedaron huérfanos.
Sin embargo, una oleada de racismo sacude a esta familia gitana cuando uno de sus miembros es acusado de un grave delito. Con el apoyo de sus parientes y amigos, Zaira tratará de dilucidar la verdad y proteger a quien más quiere de ese odio irracional y descontrolado que los amenaza sin piedad.
Con una narrativa ágil y conmovedora, Lola Cabrillana impregna de emoción y valiosas lecciones las páginas de su nueva novela. Una historia que nos pone cara a cara con el racismo que sufre la comunidad gitana.

At the beginning of autumn, Zaira leaves aside her role as a teacher and helps around the family’s snack bar at Benalmadena beach. It’s their busiest season, but also the most profitable for her cousins, with whom she has been close since they were orphaned.
