About

Entre les eaux du Titicaca et les plaines de La Manche, deux destins se frôlent et se répondent.Wayra, jeune Aymara arrivée du Pérou avec sa mère, tente de recommencer à Albacete. À la mémoire des « arbres de sable » de son enfance et aux voix de ses ancêtres - Mamita Wayra, la grand-mère Inti - se mêlent la précarité, un beau-père violent et la faim de liberté. Elle rêve d'études, travaille, tombe amoureuse, puis affronte l'engrenage des coups, des plaintes et des services sociaux.Socrate, vieil Espagnol cloué sur un fauteuil roulant depuis la pandémie, converse avec le fantôme de Maria, son épouse disparue. Rattrapé par un fils prêt à le faire interner, il s'accroche à ce qui lui reste : la dignité, l'humour sec, et l'amitié d'un ancien policier. Le jour o il croise Wayra, quelque chose s'ouvre – pour l'un, la possibilité de transmettre ; pour l'autre, celle d'être enfin en sécurité.Alternant les voix de Wayra et de Socrate, le roman tisse un réalisme sensible aux lisières du merveilleux, o le vent porte la mémoire et o la justice tient à un fil. Migration, violence intrafamiliale, deuil, racisme ordinaire et solidarité composent une histoire de survie et d'espérance : se battre, reprendre souffle, inventer sa propre forêt là o le sable s'effrite. Manuel Sánchez (1967) has been a lover of classical culture and literature since childhood. A voracious reader and writer, he is the author of novels; Alma Luna [Soul Moon], Navegantes [Navigators], La Crisálida [The Cocoon], Las rutas del deseo [Desire Ways], Ultima Thule [Ultima Thule], Bucaneros de estrellas [Buccaneers of the Stars], El árbol de arena [The Sand Tree], La rosa de nieve [The Snow Rose] and Ojos de Mar [Sea Eyes]. As well as a book of short stories, Cajón de sastre [Catch-all Drawer], and a book of poetic thoughts, El viento del sureste [The Southeast Wind]. His works are available in English, French and Spanish editions including ebook, paperback and audiobook formats. He is currently working on a new literary project. Manuel is a Computer Science Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and MBA from IE (Instituto de Empresa). He is a member of the writers associations AEM (Association of Writers of Madrid), AEMCLM (Association of Writers of Castilla La Mancha), Quijote and CEDRO. He has complemented his training with the development of courses in literary creation and classical art at different universities; Escuela de Escritores (Madrid), Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), Wesleyan University (US) and Yale University (US). A tireless traveler, as a globetrotter, he has visited more than fitty countries and maintains an active presence on social media.
