Description
Water Over Stones by Bernardo Atxaga is a powerful and moving novel that explores the lives of a close-knit community in the Basque mining town of Ugarte. As the years pass, the people of Ugarte navigate the complexities of their relationships, the secrets they keep, and the joys and tragedies that shape their lives. Through a series of interconnected narratives, Atxaga masterfully weaves together stories of friendship, love, and loss, set against the backdrop of the town's history. From the story of a young boy struggling to cope with trauma, to the tale of comrades on an army base during Franco's dictatorship, each narrative runs into the others like water running over stones. This extraordinary novel showcases Atxaga's skill as a storyteller and his ability to create characters and places that linger in the mind long after finishing the book. Translated from the Spanish by Thomas Bunstead and Margaret Jull-Costa.
