Overview

La nueva novela de una de las autoras más sobresalientes de las últimas décadas. Ali Smith nos deslumbra con Fragua, un libro que cierra el célebre Cuarteto estacional. Un día, en la Gran Bretaña posterior al Brexit y en medio de la pandemia, la artista Sandy Gray recibe una llamada telefónica inesperada de una conocida de la universidad, Martina Pelf. Martina está llamando a Sandy para pedirle ayuda con una pregunta misteriosa que le han hecho después de pasar medio día encerrada en una habitación por los oficiales de control fronterizo sin ninguna razón que pueda comprender… Saltando en el tiempo, en Fragua aparece la historia de una herrera que hizo piezas hermosas hace siglos y que fue perseguida y marcada. Una historia de restricciones y lucha por la libertad que se entrelaza con la historia de Sandy gracias a una excepcional cerradura creada por la herrera y que llega a manos de Martina Pelf. Una novela esperanzadora, que puede leerse como una coda al célebre Cuarteto estacional, en la que Ali Smith nos trae de nuevo una novela inteligente y conmovedora, reflexiva y juguetona.

The new novel by one of the most outstanding authors of the last decades. Ali Smith dazzles us with Fragua, a book that closes the famous seasonal Quartet. One day, in post-Brexit Britain and in the midst of the pandemic, artist Sandy Gray receives an unexpected phone call from a college acquaintance, Martina Pelf. Martina is calling Sandy for help with a mysterious question she's been asked after spending half a day locked in a room by border control officers for no reason she can understand... Jumping back in time, Fragua features the story of a blacksmith who made beautiful pieces centuries ago and who was persecuted and marked. A story of restrictions and a fight for freedom that is intertwined with the story of Sandy thanks to an exceptional lock created by the blacksmith and which comes into the hands of Martina Pelf. A hopeful novel, which can be read as a coda to the famous Seasonal Quartet, in which Ali Smith brings us again an intelligent and moving novel, thoughtful and playful.
