Official synopsis Publisher
“Asi empieza Marina, una apasionante novela cuyo protegonista y narrador, Oscar Drai, abandono su ciudad natal en un vano intento de escapar a sus recuerdos, pensando que, si ponia suficiente distancia, las voces de su pasado se acallarian para siempre. Quince anos mas tarde ha regresado a Barcelona para conjurar a sus fantasmas y enfrentarse a su memoria. La macabra aventura que le marco en su juventud, el terror y la locura que rodearon, paradojicamente, la mas bella historia de amor”–P. [4] of cover.
