In a village in southern Spain, a line of women has been passing down a mysterious box since the dawn of time... Frasquita discovers threads and needles there and learns to sew. She sublimates rags, sews people together, and mends frayed men. But this talent quickly earns her a reputation as a magician or a witch. Played and lost by her husband during a cockfight, she is condemned to wander through an Andalusia that peasant revolts are setting ablaze. She drags with her her caravan of children, also endowed—or burdened—with supernatural gifts. Carole Martinez constructs her novel in the form of a tale: the scenes, cruel or comical, testify to the joy of imagination. The marvelous here is never forced: it fits naturally into the cycle of life.
