Synopsis "Santita del agua clara / Saint of the Clear Water (in Spanish)"

«Que esta tierra sea el pasado y sirva como hoguera para quemar lo que venimos arrastrando porque la niña es de agua y su claridad existe en el don de su mano y su palabra.»

Unos peces koi nadan en la fuente del patio familiar. Ellos no saben que son el refugio de Carlitos. También ignoran que Mari, la hermana menor, los usa de pretexto para asomarse a lo que ocurre en el cuarto de atrás. Ese universo paralelo donde habita Teresa, la que envenena el oído de la abuela y practica rituales extraños para convocar potestades sanadoras.

Mamá y papá, mientras tanto, intentan construir una utopía colectiva a punto de quebrarse. Veinte años después llegará Fátima, una cellista enamorada de Carlos, la última pieza de un reloj en proceso de descomposición.

En Santita del agua clara, Laura Baeza narra una historia estremecedora sobre la fe, que borra los límites entre lo real y lo imaginario. Con una destreza narrativa que se mueve entre temporalidades y perspectivas, la autora demuestra que los sueños de la infancia pueden convertirse en las pesadillas de la adultez. El resultado es una novela aterradora y oscura sobre una casa que intentará mantenerse en pie, incluso cuando todo lo demás se haya consumido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“May this earth be the past and serve as a bonfire to burn what we’ve been dragging along, for the girl is made of water, and her clarity lies in the gift of her hand and her word.”

Some koi fish swim in the fountain of the family courtyard. They don’t know they’re Carlitos’ refuge. They are also unaware that Mari, the younger sister, uses them as an excuse to peek into what’s happening in the back room—that parallel universe inhabited by Teresa, who poisons Grandma’s ear and performs strange rituals to summon healing powers.

Mom and Dad, meanwhile, try to build a collective utopia on the verge of collapse. Twenty years later, Fátima will arrive—a cellist in love with Carlos, the final piece of a clock in the process of decay.

In Saint of the Clear Water, Laura Baeza tells a harrowing story about faith that blurs the lines between the real and the imaginary. With narrative skill that shifts between time periods and perspectives, the author demonstrates that childhood dreams can become the nightmares of adulthood. The result is a terrifying and dark novel about a house that will try to stay standing, even when everything else has been consumed.
