Description

The Secret of the Galleon by Ana Alcolea is set in the 19th century when a young girl travels to Spain with her family from the American colonies. She dreams of becoming a sailor, an impossible goal for someone expected to marry and manage a household. Her thoughts are revealed through her loyal slave, Ramira, who harbors a great power inherited from African ancestors. The mother of Carlos studies the remains of a Spanish galleon found in the Atlantic Ocean, which disturbs her and makes it hard for her to work. When she visits her ex-husband's museum to collaborate on restoring the ship, she is troubled by strange objects that seem to be calling to her. Meanwhile, Carlos tries to get close to Elena, a classmate, without realizing he can connect with her through his family's research. The story explores themes of identity, power, and connection as the characters navigate their lives and relationships.
