'Jardín Umbrío' Summary
The book opens with the narrator recalling his grandmother's old maid, Micaela la Galana, who spent her days spinning yarn by the window and sharing tales of saints, ghosts, goblins, and bandits. The narrator, now an adult, retells these stories, infusing them with his own literary flair. Each tale unfolds in a distinct setting, from the desolate moors to the shadowy forests, creating a sense of mystery and otherworldliness. Characters both ordinary and extraordinary populate these stories, their fates intertwining in a complex web of relationships and events. Love, betrayal, and the supernatural collide, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.Book Details
