Bøger af Jose Ovejero

A young couple with a daughter settles in a town in the interior of Spain that languishes next to a swamp among the remains of their dreams: a dismantled nuclear power plant, unfinished housing estates, faded advertisements for a city of leisure that never came to be. They intend to rebuild their life there, but the girl feels increasingly attracted to the mysteries that the swamp hides, while the father tries to understand a strange vibration that seems to unite the past and the present, the memory and the restlessness of those who still remain in it. the village. And the mother, while she tries to keep her life afloat, feels that there is something, beyond the visible, that is escaping her. With these characters and those who live in the town, José Ovejero weaves together in Vibration confrontations and violence that, imperceptibly, are transmitted from generation to generation. What connects a necropolis submerged in the swamp with a cemetery in which three teenagers fight their disenchantment and loneliness? Or a prison camp with the burning of an uninhabited house? What unites that young man and that girl who meet at night in the deserted town? What at first seem like unconnected stories become a mystery novel, which condenses, in a single place, not only a series of particular stories, but also the history of a country.
