The Water'S Skin eBook

The Waters Skin tells the story of a family of women who live, feel and love intensely and who pay a high price for doing what was considered unacceptable for women in the times they lived in. But its also a chronicle of Spains last century as told through the ups and downs of these brave and struggling women who rebel against the conventions imposes by their world, and who, paradoxically, are destined to be bitterly disappointed in love, generation after generation. Decades later, another woman in the family fights against the same fate that has marked her kinswomen, and which will leave her, if she cant escape it, a legacy of heartbreak. In The Waters Skin, her second novel after Días de sal, Estrella Flores-Carretero continues to explore friend-ship, pain, love and its lack, and our deepest fears, through moving characters and a family trapped by the memory of feelings, like the water-s skin.
