Novels and short stories about time, desire and what remains hidden.
“To narrate is to be born again in other bodies, in other times.”
The novel
The House of Whispers
Two women, two destinies, one unexpected connection. Francesca, a journalist trapped in the routine of Buenos Aires, travels to Italy and discovers a lavish villa; along with the inheritance comes love, and along with love, a family mystery that reaches back to the Italy of 1914.
“And finally, of course, we will say that Fabiana Galcerán’s novel is also a novel about time: historical time, that of the first war, which broke out with fury across Europe, but above all evoked time, the kind that calls to us and summons us with its echo: it whispers to us.” — Mariano Ducros
