Overview

Una maravillosa novela que rescata toda la magia, la riqueza y la tradición de Galicia, una tierra rebosante de misterio y belleza.
«Así somos las Mencía, niña, apréndelo cuanto antes, o eres loca o reina o santa o borracha.»
Cuando Valentina se queda huérfana a los once años, se ve obligada a atravesar el océano desde su Habana natal a la Galicia de sus antepasados para quedar al cargo de su abuela, Bruna Mencía, marquesa de Novoa. La matriarca la recibe en su solitario, decadente y majestuoso pazo y comienza a educarla para convertirla en la heredera de la dinastía.

Valentina conocerá a través de Bruna la convulsa historia de su familia y cómo la salvaje estirpe de las mujeres Mencía, criadas por la naturaleza en las profundidades del bosque gallego, se unió a la aristocrática dinastía de los Novoa, la más rica de la región. Las historias de amor y poder entre ambas familias, que han pervivido durante muchos años, marcarán el destino de Valentina, que tendrá que decidir si continúa o no con ese linaje, extraño para ella, plagado de intrigas y culpas secretas.

Una prodigiosa historia de tradición y modernidad, de civilización y barbarie, de espíritus y profecías, de grelos y camelias, de reinas y santas, de meigas y lobas, en la que los personajes se debaten entre tomar los caminos escogidos para ellos o elegir libremente su propio destino. Una maravillosa novela que recoge toda la magia y el misterio de una tierra de leyenda.

La crítica ha dicho sobre las novelas de Cristina López Barrio...
«Una excelente narración que se nutre de una escritura, la de López Barrio, intensa y personal, con ecos de paraísos de realismo mágico, como el Macondo de García Márquez, pero pura, pero suya.»
Heraldo de Aragón

«Una historia múltiple donde se medita sobre ciertos valores dialécticos: amor y odio, vida y muerte, el asentamiento y la dispersión o la ausencia. Es una delicia. Y es obligatoria.»
El Correo Gallego

«Imbuido de realismo mágico, la historia de amores perdidos de López Barrio brilla con luz propia. Un relato magníficamente hilado.»
Kirkus Review

«Me ha parecido realmente maravilloso. Un cuento cargado de magia, amor, odio, erotismo y drama. Un 9,5 sobre 10 sin ninguna duda.»
El rincón del libro

«Una prosa exuberante.»
El Mundo

«La casa de los amores imposibles es una novela escrita con pasión, de esas que llegan al corazón y a los sentidos. Da rabia dejarla para mañana porque engancha.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


When Valentina is orphaned at the age of eleven, she finds herself obliged to cross the ocean from her native Havana to the Galicia of her ancestors to be cared for by her grandmother, Bruna Mencía, Marchioness of Novoa. The matriarch welcomes her into her solitary, decadent, and majestic country house and begins to educate her to someday be the heir of the dynasty.

Through Bruna, Valentina learns the tumultuous history of her family and how the wild lineage of the Mencía women, raised among nature in the depths of the Galician forests, joined the aristocratic dynasty of the Novoa, the richest family in the region. The stories of love and power between the two families, which have endured for many years, mark Valentina's destiny as she decides if she will continue this lineage, which seems strange and riddled with mysteries and secret blame.

A prodigious story of tradition and modernity, of civilization and barbarity, of spirits and prophecies, of turnip greens and camellias, of queens and saints, of witches and wolves, in which the characters debate between taking the paths chosen for them or freely chosing their own destiny. A marvelous novel that consolidates all the magic and mystery of a legendary land.
