Description

Rosa lives in isolation on an island shrouded in mist and rain. Her rare condition renders her mute, and she's forced to hide away from the world. But Rosa has no desire to leave Mirasol, where her mother died. Every night, she lights a candle on the windowsill, hoping to summon her back. One day, an online friendship blossoms with a boy called Ansel95, who becomes the first person to see beyond Rosa's condition. As their connection deepens, Rosa must confront the islanders' superstitions and decide whether to trust him. But when her mother appears at the front door, everything changes. This haunting novel weaves myths and ghosts into a modern setting, exploring themes of identity, freedom, and what it means to be seen.
