Poco a poco su relacion cambia y Logan se convierte en un gran apoyo, pero cuando por fin parece que River comienza a sanar, un terrible secreto familiar la obliga a replantearse todo incluso la posibilidad de que el incendio no fuese un accidente y de que las intenciones del donante anonimo no fuesen tan altruistas como parecian.

Las abuelas nunca hablaron de la guerra, eso era cosa de hombres. Pero la vivieron igual. Estamos en un pueblo. La expresión " tocan a muerto " se usa para nombrar las campanadas que anuncian la muerte de una persona: dos si es un hombre, tres si se trata de una mujer. Laura Vivar toma la expresion para dar titulo a su novela, una obra que recrea la voz de las mujeres madres, primas, tias, vecinas: todas desde la ruina de la posguerra y que, magistralmente, va enhebrando instantaneas familiares que tienen en comun la carestia, la pobreza, la violencia, el luto riguroso, la dureza de la vida cotidiana, la injusticia, la emigracion de las jovenes a las grandes ciudades, el silencio.Con un castellano precioso, lleno de hallazgos verbales y pleno de historias, Tocan a muerto propone con imaginacion y crudeza algunas posibles respuestas a la pregunta sobre que es lo que sabriamos de nuestros pueblos si el dolor de la guerra civil española no hubiera cortado sus formas de vida y la transmision de su memoria.

A cien años de su publicación, Tirano Banderas no ha perdido un ápice de vigencia y se disfruta hoy como un atlas, tan real como simbólico, del poder totalitario.En 1926, se publicó por primera vez Tirano Banderas, una novela radical Valle-Inclan en forma y fondo. Con ella, el autor rompe con las formas narrativas tradicionales, implanta el esperpento en la novela y construye un retrato feroz del poder totalitario. Aunque ambientada en una republica ficticia (se descubre el paisaje de Mexico como trasfondo, pais al que viajo Valle en distintas ocasiones), la novela no busca verosimilitud telurica sino retratar la estructura psicologica del despotismo.La figura del general Santos Banderas no es solo un personaje, sino una sintesis del caudillo iberoamericano, desde Rosas hasta Trujillo, pasando por Porfirio Diaz. Con su prosa riquisima, su lexico mestizo, su mirada deformante y su critica brutal, Valle-Inclan abre un camino que recorreran luego Asturias, Roa Bastos, Garcia Marquez o Vargas Llosa, entre otros.A cien años de su publicacion, Tirano Banderas no ha perdido un apice de vigencia: la manipulacion del lenguaje, el uso del terror como herramienta politica, el culto al lider, la violencia institucionalizada... siguen presentes en muchas naciones a lo largo y ancho del planeta. Esta obra no solo es una pieza literaria de primer orden: es un mapa actual y simbolico del poder.
