"Find Jimena. The nothingness, here." Madrid, 1889. Greedy tongues of flame devour the monumental Gran Hotel Inglés. Amidst the panicked crowds, smoke and chaos, Elvira Pardo Losada stops a pair of firemen carrying a stretcher bearing one of the wounded. The injured man is Leonardo, her close friend and abettor of her literary aspirations. She leans closer to hear the words Leonardo is struggling to tell her, including what may be his dying wish. Reeling from a double betrayal, Elvira travels to the rural estate of Mariñán in Galicia to keep her promise to Leonardo, find Jimena, and take advantage of the lonely surroundings to write. As she soon discovers, however, the young woman's whereabouts are not the only mystery in a place where everyone keeps secrets and reality takes many shapes. A hypnotic tale with the soul of a classic, The Breath of Flames is subtle and evocative. Love, betrayal, revenge, literature and women are interwoven in Ángela Banzas's masterful and engrossing storytelling. An extraordinary novel that examines what happens when we let passion fuel our impulses and the only path to redemption is through the flames.
