Summary

El agua del paraíso invita a un edén perdido donde el mito, la historia y la leyenda se entrelazan para relatar las vidas de unos personajes marcados por la adversidad y la pluralidad existencial de la vida. El océano, el mar, el río, las cascadas y la totalidad de un entorno acuático planetario enmarcan el cuadro poético de la narración que a su vez se desliza en el tiempo y la desmemoria. En dicho ambiente de agua y mito cuatro mujeres vienen a representar un matriarcado que se sostiene de la tradición pero que intenta perfilarse en un futuro incierto donde el progreso y el mundo de los hombres pueden ser avasallantes y perplejos. La novela se construye en diversos espacios geográficos que van desde la Galicia milenaria a una Irlanda mítica pasando por las islas africanas para depositar el grosor de la trama en el caribe donde las cuatro generaciones femeninas habrán de fraguar sus vidas. La naturaleza emancipadora será el elemento final que ensortijará y liberará a las mujeres del apremio universal de los hombres. The water of paradise invites the reader to a lost Eden where myth, history and legend intertwine to tell the tale of characters marked by adversity and existential twists of fate. The ocean, the sea, the river and waterfalls form the aquatic environs that frame a poetic narrative canvas that simultaneously glides through time and forgotten places. In this setting of water and myth, four women come to represent a matriarchy sustained by tradition while attempting to shape an uncertain future where progress and the world of men can be both overwhelming and perplexing. The novel is constructed in diverse geographic spaces: from millinery Galicia and mythical Ireland to the islands of Africa, with the great majority of the plot occurring in the Caribbean, where the four generations of females forge their lives. The emancipating character of nature is the crucial element that will rise up and liberate these women from the universal exigency of men.
