Overview

La nueva novela de la autora Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas.

Una historia de culpa y redención. Una mujer que intenta resolver las deudas del pasado.

«Riera es autora de una obra polifacética de repercusión universal». —Jurado del Premio Nacional de las Letras Española

¿Hay vida más allá de la muerte? El doctor Ripper, que atiende a la soprano Barbara Simpson tras sufrir una grave crisis cardíaca, cree que sí. Mientras se la considera clínicamente muerta, Barbara experimenta una sensación placentera y luminosa. ¿Es lo que nos espera después de morir?

Si la soprano vuelve a esta vida como, al parecer, ha ocurrido en otros casos reales es porque necesita esclarecer un misterio y saldar una deuda. Para eso debe indagar sobre su infancia, primero en el sur de Estados Unidos, donde nació en época de segregación racial, y más adelante en Mallorca, a donde llega con su padre, músico de jazz, para vivir en un pueblo situado en la falda de la montaña del Teix bajo la protección mágica de la Diosa Blanca.

Una sombra blanca es una historia de culpa y redención que entrelaza con maestría distintas voces del presente y del pasado, entre los años sesenta del siglo xx y la actualidad, en escenarios muy distintos. En el relato van encajándose las diferentes piezas que nos permitirán, finalmente, desvelar el secreto de Barbara Simpson.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The latest novel by Carme Riera, National Spanish Literature Award.

A story of guilt and redemption. A woman who tries to settle past debts.

“Riera is the author of a multifaceted work of universal repercussions.” —Jury of the National Spanish Literature Award

Is there life after death? Doctor Ripper, who treated soprano Barbara Simpson after suffering a severe cardiac crisis, believes so. While she is considered clinically dead, Barbara experiences a pleasant and luminous sensation. Is this what awaits us after death?

If the soprano comes back to life as it has seemingly happened in other true cases is because she needs to shed light on a mystery and pay off a debt. For this she must make inquiries about her childhood, first in the southern United States, where she was born in a time of racial segregation, and later on in Mallorca, where she arrived with her father, a jazz musician, to live in a town situated at the skirts of Puig del Teix, under the magical protection of the White Goddess.

A White Shadow is a story of guilt and redemption that masterfully weaves different voices of the past and present, between the nineteen sixties of the twentieth century and today, in very distinct environments. In this tale, several pieces fit, finally revealing the secret of Barbara Simpson.
