Las herederas de la Singer / The Singer Heirs

Las herederas de la Singer cuenta la conmovedora historia de las mujeres de una familia ligadas a una máquina de coser que custodió un secreto durante cuatro generaciones. El día que la joven Aurora se vio obligada a trabajar en la mina tras el accidente de su padre, se juró a sí misma hacer lo que fuera necesario para salir de aquel infierno. Un matrimonio sin amor y la máquina de coser Singer de segunda mano que recibe como regalo de bodas le proporcionarán una nueva forma de salir adelante, hasta que un terrible suceso convierte la Singer en la única prueba de la amenaza que la perseguirá toda la vida. Muchos años después, la complicidad que teje con su biznieta Alba desvelará el secreto que ha planeado sobre las mujeres de su familia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Singer Heirs tells the soulful story of the women in a family tied to a sewing machine that has guarded a secret for over four generations. The day young Aurora was forced to work in the mines after her father’s accident, she vowed to herself she would do whatever was necessary to get out of that hellhole. A loveless marriage and the second-hand Singer sewing machine she gets as a wedding present will give her a new way to pull through, until a horrible event turns the Singer into the only proof of a threat that will haunt her for the rest of her life. Many years later, the complicity she forges with her great-grand daughter Alba will unveil the secret that has soared over the women of her family. “Ana Lena Rivera displays a fresh and contemporary language, as well as a great ability to create everyday places.” —Jury of the XXIX Torrente Ballester Prize
