A story of intertwining lives that, like water, run between stones.
From childhood friends in a bakery in the mining town of Ugarte, Basque
Country, to a group of comrades and their pet magpie in a military base in the
dying days of Franco's dictatorship, and eventually adults with the weight of
their existence on their backs, the interconnected stories of the protagonists
of Water over Stones span several decades of Spanish history, as Ugarte moves
from the hazy summer of the 1972 Olympics, through the mining strikes of the
turbulent Eighties, and into the modern day.
Water over Stones is an extraordinary novel of friendship, nature, love and
the immensity of death. Once again, Atxaga shows his mastery in creating
places and characters that are impossible to forget.
Translated from the Spanish by Thomas Bunstead and Margaret Jull-Costa
