El límite inferior

One weekend of torrential rain, four people come together in La Solana, a small Mediterranean village. Victor and Valeria’s marriage is in crisis, and their business trip looks as though it may really be the end of their relationship. Breogán and Brigitte are an artist and a tourist guide, washed up in this lost corner of the coast and meandering its narrow streets without ever meeting. The first part of the novel – the wind – brings stormy news from the outside world, and the second – the tide – disturbs the very soul of each of the four characters. The storm, a car accident, and the mysterious disappearance of a child all combine to emphasise the emptiness and lacking of four lives caught up in the incoming storm and on the edge of something life-changing. This intimate and intriguing novel has shadows of Chirbes, Gopegui or Houellebecq
