Three characters determine a story set in the Basque Country: a blind fashion designer who finds a way of continuing to swim in the open seas, a newly arrived Colombian immigrant who knows she will never miss home, and her young, deliberately-mute son. People in exceptional circumstances who create a web of mutual support in an unsettled context, and in the process refine and redefine their own humanity. Their story spells the need for new languages to break the spell of trauma. [2024]. Winner of the 2025 Spain-USA Foundation Translation Award [SUFTA] & the 2024 Sundial Literary Translation Award.
