• 0:05
  Lucas and Marina are, by will, the last. Mr Martin heirs according
• 0:09
  to the will made that manages to find them again after almost twenty years in
• 0:15
  the house where they spent the summers of their childhood, our last summer on
• 0:19
  the island opened the way in word authors with rose a taste to have you
• 0:23
  here again, a taste like always being here with you, twenty years without
• 0:29
  seeing you forty years ago. There' s three of them. I'
• 0:31
  d say there are three stages, three very marked dates. Yeah, I
• 0:34
  ' m going to start with the' 70s, okay, where I have
• 0:37
  to say it' s very rich, with a lot of facts, music,
• 0:43
  culture, everything that moved back then. Yeah, well, I love
• 0:48
  that you tell me that, because it was important for me to create.
• 0:51
  I think the word I most repeat when I talk about this novel is atmosphere.
• 0:56
  Creating an atmosphere, not only with words, not only for the setting,
• 1:00
  although it is what most influences, evidently, but a whole generic,
• 1:04
  in things that I led to when I am speaking in those three stages that
• 1:11
  you did that is seventy- five, ninety- seven and the present,
• 1:14
  even if it is two thousand fifteen, but good is the present. Yes,
• 1:17
  each one is transported, each reader somehow to that time and atmosphere.
• 1:23
  In the end it' s a little between quotes, my childhood. I
• 1:27
  was born later, but well, of course, my parents were, then,
• 1:33
  of the age of the protagonists of the novel of the past, of
• 1:38
  the part of the past. Then I was screened with that music I grew
• 1:41
  up with those conversations that were still in force, because I was born in
• 1:46
  the eighties, because in my childhood, which had been Franco dead for ten
• 1:49
  years, I had not been so much and I was my family. You
• 1:55
  got in the car and the smurfs didn' t ring, I mean,
• 1:59
  autate, Paco Ibañes and I hated it. Now I love it, now
• 2:00
  I really appreciate it. Okay but then no, no, then it was
• 2:04
  like mom, please, but take me dad here, Paco Ibañez, I
• 2:07
  mean, I, at six years old was like but what is this,
• 2:09
  please, logical, and that in the end, so look at life.
• 2:14
  Not in the end, it' s been almost forty years and that'
• 2:19
  s what I wanted to pass on. It is the music that I listen
• 2:23
  to while writing, and it is that atmosphere of a little innocence, hope,
• 2:31
  craving for freedom, fear of that end of the dictatorship, because the
• 2:37
  plot of the past is August of the seventy- five. I mean,
• 2:38
  there' s the thing there, it' s already a little bit,
• 2:44
  no and well, it was probably the one that scared me the most,
• 2:47
  on the one hand, it gave me a feel and, on the other,
• 2:49
  the one that taught me the most. Besides, you felt like it.
• 2:50
  We were talking, we would have an inheritance, but this is also
• 2:53
  an inheritance. You highlight it a lot in the book. But besides,
• 2:58
  that inheritance you become victim many times. Of course, I talk a lot
• 3:06
  about love stories romantic bouquets and so on, but there is a huge melon
• 3:09
  in parental and maternal relationships that I always tell you that I like to write
• 3:15
  about feelings and it seems that romantic love, it is like feeling with antonomasia
• 3:21
  that gives more literary material. But I don' t think so. I
• 3:27
  believe that parent- to- child relationships, like your parents' decisions,
• 3:30
  influence your life, your whole life, not just in your childhood or adolescence.
• 3:38
  And here we see a lot of that. In the end, the
• 3:43
  protagonists of the present are the children of the protagonists of the past. So
• 3:46
  let' s see how those things that happened in the last summer of the
• 3:53
  dictatorship were saying that there are three temporary times that were won in the nineties,
• 3:58
  that' s when Lucas and Marina were boyfriends and loved each other and
• 4:04
  things happened and they still hang out today. Yeah, that' s right.
• 4:06
  The best roots have nothing to do with a family tree, but they
• 4:10
  cling to the earth because they are made of experiences. Well, yes,
• 4:15
  I have a family tree, very small. Mols is with the genealogical,
• 4:20
  because if I' m a daughter, only, daughter, my only children,
• 4:24
  then well, my family let' s say blood and so close is
• 4:28
  very short. So I don' t know if for convenience or because I
• 4:31
  really believe it all the time, I' ve always said the roots are
• 4:35
  about something else. No, I mean, my roots are in friends,
• 4:39
  they' re in good, of course, in that family, even if
• 4:41
  it' s short that I have in the places where I' ve become
• 4:47
  the person I am, which is a little bit also on that island,
• 4:51
  it' s part of the formation of the characters of all ages And,
• 4:59
  well, I think that in the end life is a little bit, a
• 5:02
  quest for balance between rooting, to land and having wings to fly not and
• 5:09
  on that island, that it' s a physical space of the novel,
• 5:12
  but it' s also a bit of a metaphorical space. For me there
• 5:13
  is the balance between those two things. I take advantage of what you say
• 5:15
  and ask you what your island is like. Well, my physical, geographic
• 5:20
  island is my town. I this novel, when I conceived it in my
• 5:29
  head it had to be an island the stage, but as I advanced,
• 5:33
  I realized that it was my village, which is Foz, which is a
• 5:35
  town on the coast of Lugo and, in fact, all the descriptions,
• 5:40
  that is the people, is the island is foff geographically or physically. In
• 5:46
  fact, all my cousins and such that they have read it have told me
• 5:48
  I liked it very much, but I was not able to see an island.
• 5:50
  This is strength, that is, what you do then and it is
• 5:57
  my island also in everything else, it is the place where I am still
• 6:00
  the girl who was all day in a swimsuit, barefoot with hair full of
• 6:03
  saltitre until three in the morning and with escape to the verbena, even if
• 6:11
  they didn' t leave me, that is, except the part that they
• 6:14
  don' t leave me I keep doing it every summer, that is not
• 6:18
  to me, that no one offers me a month in the Maldives in August
• 6:23
  because I don' t go that is I have. It' s my
• 6:24
  island, it' s my place of freedom and in the end, it
• 6:27
  ' s the place where I wrote this novel and it' s the only
• 6:30
  place where I could have written this novel and it' s taking and it
• 6:33
  ' s my plus, no more than my bad I went to Coruña and
• 6:35
  all my life not in foce. It' s my father' s family
• 6:38
  and it' s my summers, but I live in Coruña, which is
• 6:42
  Atlantic and Cantabrian foces. I do, I say, I am a cantabric
• 6:44
  many times that good he keeps talking about this one, but it is very
• 6:46
  Atlantic. I say no, no, no, no, I' m
• 6:47
  very Cantabrian. I' m very Cantabrian. It' s spoiling, that
• 6:51
  is, and it' s where freer. I' m where I am.
• 6:54
  I always say that I, in another life should be Dauphin or something,
• 6:57
  because I am in the water, Sanagua, I am happy, where
• 7:00
  I am best in the world. We were talking about a death, an
• 7:03
  inheritance. Martin, who' s Martin? Martin is the man who propitiates
• 7:12
  everything that happens next, because he is the owner of the house on the
• 7:15
  island inherited by Lucas and Marina, more or less half- way and propitiates
• 7:19
  the reunion. And Martin is at the same time a man of the sea,
• 7:26
  which is something that I also wanted to play in a novel, because
• 7:30
  well, that' s where I come from. My whole family, father
• 7:34
  to my grandfather included, dedicated themselves to the sea, they were all sailors.
• 7:41
  It' s a hard way. I think that only one knows her
• 7:45
  who has lived her up close and I wanted to talk about a man from
• 7:48
  the sea, a tough but tender man, a man who lived many vital
• 7:57
  avatars, some of them literally copied from things that have happened in my family,
• 8:03
  especially things from the sea. I mean, no yes, but he
• 8:07
  ' s a deeply tender man and he loves Marina, who' s like
• 8:11
  the granddaughter he never had and who with his death gives the trigger to the
• 8:18
  whole plot. But he' s still very present, even though he'
• 8:24
  s never alive. It is present in practically everything in this presence, I
• 8:30
  take advantage of and say that it is the most lasting, without any doubt,
• 8:35
  but I think it is the best way to be present. I mean
• 8:37
  once there' s an absence. Actually, you' re always there.
• 8:41
  Yeah, that no one dies until he leaves him, until he stops remembering.
• 8:46
  And of course, Martin, who is present in a consistent way,
• 8:50
  above all and this is not revealing anything, because he decides to write a
• 8:56
  diary every year of his life. Yes, he writes notebooks of vitaco,
• 9:01
  even when he has already gone to land, he has left the sea.
• 9:05
  So, all those secret mysteries and things that you can' t tell you
• 9:11
  are going to discover Marina and clear lucas help you a lot. Those logbooks.
• 9:18
  It' s something that' s good. There are quite a few
• 9:22
  people in general, but of the sea in particular. I' ve met
• 9:24
  several who do that not reflect their day to day. Everyone comes to the
• 9:28
  island, because a little, like what you have described, you are your
• 9:33
  island, it is your holiday place, it is your memories, your childhood
• 9:37
  is where you want to stay. Marina. The same is true of Damian
• 9:41
  and Victor. How each one arrives good in the seventies. I talked about
• 9:50
  it with some people who are from outside Galicia, who have been a little
• 9:54
  surprised by the way of summer, the summer in Galicia, at least in
• 9:58
  the Cantabrian area, which is the one that I know in the sixties,
• 10:01
  which is a little when the summer starts was not a hotel, it was
• 10:07
  not going to private houses and many times, of course, to private houses
• 10:13
  that someone lived there, that is, people had no empty houses, they
• 10:18
  didn' t spare then always I haven' t lived my whole life.
• 10:22
  I' ve seen it well, not because it happened so much when I
• 10:24
  was born, but I heard it all my life. People were going to
• 10:28
  a room. The whole family of a room was coming together. The others
• 10:31
  left them for the summerers, which was a very typical word. I know
• 10:35
  him. There were even people who were going to live in the cellars and
• 10:37
  leave the main house for the summerers. And that' s how they come.
• 10:43
  So they reach Angi and Victor, that Angie is Marina' s mother,
• 10:46
  Victor is Lucas' father. That' s how they get to Mr
• 10:52
  Martin' s house and his wife' s. At that time he still
• 10:54
  lived and they are like two houses attached. Then a family came to each
• 11:00
  of the houses. Damian is another case. He is also a nephew of
• 11:05
  Mr Martin and goes to the island a little fleeing the misery of the mine,
• 11:11
  exactly that is also another subject that he learned me, but I well,
• 11:15
  being from the coast of then, that is a Galician area, but
• 11:18
  very asturian. We' re not very close to Asturias. I, on
• 11:20
  the other hand, lived in Gijón one season and in the eighties, which
• 11:26
  was a full time of mining bullion, and I also wanted to talk about
• 11:30
  it, as well as the hardness of the sea, the hardness of the
• 11:31
  mine. Then, fleeing that life that awaited him as a teenager, his
• 11:35
  uncle dambion takes him to the island and then the young, that is,
• 11:41
  those of the next generation, those of the present plot arrive, because by
• 11:43
  their parents, because their parents had arrived like this, then they were already
• 11:46
  born on the island. And in the end this is all super personal to
• 11:52
  me, because my mother came to work like this I mean, I'
• 11:54
  m the daughter of a summer love. My mother is yes, yes,
• 11:56
  how beautiful. My mother came to my mother and her parents and my mother
• 12:03
  ' s family is from Lugo Captain and they went to summer foz and my
• 12:07
  father was a village boy and they met. And yet, of course,
• 12:13
  that' s not the case. You describe summer love as love that lasts
• 12:18
  a month and you' re eleven months old. I' m going to
• 12:20
  say full freedom. Well, in a way, it was like that.
• 12:24
  No man, all, well, all necessarily a lot that we had summer
• 12:28
  loves that have been able to endure and others that good was like good,
• 12:33
  we leave next summer and we' ll see. No, I mean,
• 12:35
  you don' t have to keep absences all the time, either. There
• 12:37
  are many types of relationship and more or less, each couple knows which rules
• 12:43
  to set. And there' s a phrase I like about Damian. I
• 12:46
  think I remember you saying it in the novel, that summer loves lose all
• 12:50
  the fun when it starts raining. No yes, I think it happens to
• 12:54
  us that I had great summer loves of these that last twenty days that intensive.
• 13:00
  I was crying the last day of summer, my God, this is
• 13:03
  never going in. On the first day of school I had already forgotten school
• 13:05
  day, I already liked one of my class and this was a bit like
• 13:09
  that. I was a little bit like that when I was a teenager.
• 13:11
  Nor should such a grandiose thing be given such a transcendence. End of June
• 13:16
  of one thousand nine hundred and fifty- six in the fishing district, as
• 13:20
  you have named Angie. I find it very nice when Bueno was born Maria
• 13:24
  de losÁngeles Naya Fernández Geles, but someone was composing Angie clear that year.
• 13:31
  Yeah, this here can be told a writing secret and I' m
• 13:35
  in my head, well I love the Rollings song, which freaks me out
• 13:37
  all my life. No, then I said, well, look, this
• 13:41
  girl goes by the name of Angel when I was garronting the novel. Even
• 13:43
  in my head it' s not going to be called Angels, but it
• 13:46
  ' s going to be called Angis. That' s it then when I
• 13:50
  was already writing a little bit I say I' m going to look for
• 13:52
  what year Angie is, because to me someone sounded like early' 70s and
• 13:54
  it' s, like,' 70s. Something like that. I mean
• 13:56
  there, my God, during a good piece of the plot of the past,
• 14:01
  this girl can' t be called Angie, because Angi isn' t
• 14:05
  just when it was composed anymore. That' s when in Spain it was
• 14:07
  heard about her and neither at that time. I was there the same day
• 14:11
  and then I had a little bit of confusion there. But if she'
• 14:15
  s good it' s that for me Angie is the character who is the
• 14:18
  pure representation of freedom. So, to the point that he puts on the
• 14:20
  name he wants, I love this character. I think he' s a
• 14:24
  favorite too. Of course, your mission, the marine mission, is to
• 14:30
  remember since Angi cannot make it clear marine, when the marine history begins it
• 14:35
  has been very lonely. His father died, his mother has Zeimer, Mr
• 14:43
  Martin, who was like his anchor land on the island, just died and
• 14:46
  there he feels that of those summers, of that life on the island that
• 14:54
  so marked it for good, that is, that such good memories are supposed
• 14:58
  to anyone. Because Lucas, well, the next day he' s gonna
• 15:03
  find it again, but she doesn' t know exactly. Then, of
• 15:05
  course from Luke eighteen years ago, he knows nothing, also from Luke'
• 15:09
  s family, that for her they were like his uncles, not because they
• 15:11
  were close friends of his parents. Of course, no one' s left.
• 15:16
  Then she sits with the mission that all that will not fall into oblivion.
• 15:24
  Not because there' s only one left to honor her, let'
• 15:28
  s say, until she shows up, well, not until she shows up.
• 15:30
  The next day Lucas appears as heir as well and to see that of
• 15:37
  course I don' t want to reveal anything that you already know. No.
• 15:39
  I' ve noticed these chicks that it' s very complicated to talk
• 15:41
  about this novel. However, Lucas as a character was Marina' s first
• 15:46
  love and, well, the best way to erase it. All right,
• 15:54
  it could be disappearing. But not like you said a moment ago, when
• 15:58
  you had your summer loves, or we had our summer loves and started the
• 16:00
  first risk of high school. You' d forgotten. That' s what
• 16:04
  he pretends, but they were much more serious about a summer love, apart
• 16:08
  from obviously falling in love. But besides, they were very close. Lucas
• 16:15
  is a character that I really liked writing. I know that he will not
• 16:18
  fall in love with many people because he is deeply imperfect and his imperfection is
• 16:26
  based on being deeply cowardly. Lucas is a coward, he is a lukewarm,
• 16:30
  he is an indecisive, he is a prototype that exists much more than
• 16:37
  the great villains. Many times we hurt others more by indecision, cowardice,
• 16:42
  silence, silence than by great misdeeds. No, no, no, sometimes
• 16:52
  it' s so, Lucas, in the end, when I' m
• 16:56
  not going to tell him that he' s spoiler, but when Marina explains
• 17:02
  to him because he' s out of his thing and she' s left
• 17:03
  unsatisfied. Ah by this clear, that is, because you are a coward,
• 17:08
  for if it is without more, it is not because you will find
• 17:12
  love elsewhere, nor because there is a worldwide conspiracy. In fact, there
• 17:18
  ' s a moment he tells you that I can' t explain. I
• 17:22
  didn' t get abducted by aliens and that' s why I disappeared and
• 17:26
  she once made me prefer the explanation of aliens. It would have been much
• 17:27
  better. Of course, I would have been more satisfied. That way it
• 17:33
  would have been better solved. No Lucas is also a journey that we see
• 17:38
  to talk about the novel El de Lucas looking for himself almost at forty.
• 17:42
  Not to say I didn' t make a decision and my life got carried
• 17:48
  away. I have stopped leading, let go and I have come to forty
• 17:52
  years with a life that I do not like and without ever making an effort
• 17:57
  to take the rents of my life. I was remembering Victor before I finished
• 18:03
  the interview, which you describe as the luck of living in an apartment with
• 18:10
  high ceilings, large rooms, because his father fought on the right side.
• 18:15
  Of course, Victor as a character, as a person to me is the
• 18:19
  best character in the novel tor Victor is Lucas' father to light himself up
• 18:26
  to is Lucas' father. He is one of the protagonists of the plot
• 18:27
  of the past and Victor, well he is an absolute privileged, not because,
• 18:34
  evidently, his father had made war in the winning command. He lived
• 18:37
  in the neighborhood of Salamanca as a family of six brothers, as a much
• 18:44
  more privileged summer, even if it was on the same island, but much
• 18:47
  more privileged than that of the others, and the most handsome and most Guapo
• 18:52
  triumphant has the lip and everything else has everything. There are many victors in
• 18:59
  the novel and that victor of seventy- five, twenty years old, is
• 19:03
  a bit in love with Angie, a little scoundrel, very much so year
• 19:10
  and there is the victor of the following years. Well, this isn'
• 19:12
  t spoiler. Victor will end up in politics, no yes. And there
• 19:17
  ' s also a topic out there, not to say, a bit critical
• 19:21
  of how his perspective is spinning. And also, evidently, the Victor father,
• 19:26
  the Victor father of Luke, who has also managed his children, his
• 19:32
  brother Borja, yes, of course, has also managed them at will.
• 19:38
  In spite of that, that seems to me a very interesting character, because
• 19:42
  at times it looks like a villain and other moments you say because it also
• 19:48
  has its little fucker. No, and then you say no. Don'
• 19:51
  t you? Don' t you? Don' t you? Don'
• 19:51
  t you? You have it to me, you sure play with a lot
• 19:57
  of fun to create the character to win them. Yes, I had a
• 20:00
  great time with Victor, very well and in fact, my first two or
• 20:03
  three readers who are other writers, who are always the first to read my
• 20:07
  drafts when I just wrote them all in God. Victor' s gonna hate
• 20:11
  everybody, but it' s for me I' m not like a character.
• 20:14
  I mean it' s true, it' s true. Yes,
• 20:15
  yes, everything happens and everything is April. Okay. That' s my
• 20:19
  childhood song. In fact, it' s the song with which good little
• 20:23
  things that is I go to Instagram and such all the time I want to
• 20:26
  put that in the background. Yeah, everything happens and everything' s left.
• 20:30
  I think it is, but ours is to pass, it' s
• 20:33
  clear, but yes, I think it all happens, that if not,
• 20:37
  that is, we have to evolve. I think so, of course,
• 20:38
  I think so, but I think they give a lot of wells, too,
• 20:41
  man. It is the gelon who are the exact themes. Well,
• 20:45
  last summer on the island, as I was saying outside the microphone, you
• 20:48
  don' t get up. The view of the book is very rich.
• 20:52
  All the characters, these three stages give you a lot of play. They
• 20:57
  are very conflicting years, of many changes. Well, I don' t
• 21:02
  know, I loved it well. Well, thank you very much, because
• 21:06
  I really trust your Christerium. Then tell me you loved it, well,
• 21:10
  it' s a huge satisfaction. I keep saying that this is the novel
• 21:14
  that I always dreamed of writing that it took me many years to get to
• 21:18
  it and find the formula that I wanted to make it go well, that
• 21:22
  I hope, because it did work out well. And then, well,
• 21:25
  I' m very happy that all the bookstores are already there. Finally.
