Entre o lume do val e as néboas da serra, algo se revolve nas entrañas da Galicia máis feroz e descarnada. Unha serie atroz de asasinatos espertará a memoria dun nome perdido no tempo e, como nun segredo que se comparte en voz baixa, un temor comezara a repetirse nos rumores: Volveu o Sacauntos.... Onde nacen as bestas e unha novela sobre o lado salvaxe do noso propio ser, onde a montaña marca as personalidades dos seus habitantes e a piedade pode desaparecer en calquera momento. Unha historia cunha atmosfera densa e inquietante, onde as fronteiras entre o cotian e o imaxinario se cruzan e mesturan ata facer imposible distinguir que e real e que lenda. Pedro Feijoo mergullanos nunha historia de violencia ancestral, silencios familiares e identidades ocultas. Un thriller apaixonante que explora os recunchos mais escuros da natureza humana, onde todos gardamos os nosos segredos e nada e o que parece. Ou, se cadra, si.

Clara voit au-delà des apparences. Ceux qui la connaissent la redoutent autant qu’ils l’admirent. Car elle ne prédit pas seulement l’avenir, elle l’éveille.

Invece per la festa lei e ancora viva, mentre Matteotti viene ritrovato morto. È cosi che comincia davvero il fascismo, e anche la vicenda di Redenta, della sua famiglia, della sua gente. Un mondo di radicale violenza il Ventennio, la guerra, la prevaricazione maschile eppure di inesauribile fiducia nellumano.

Pero non e come gli altri. Come che non piange? chiedeva la sera mio padre. Piangera. Le donne prima o poi piangono tutte.
