Luthier by vocation, at the age of seventy, Carlota has to face the most difficult decision of her life: to cut a red tree that is over five hundred years to build the best cello or let it grow so that another luthier, in fifty years, can make an even more extraordinary one.

As she tries to decide what the right path is, the story of her family comes back with all its might: a lineage of luthiers shaped by the love of the trade, the silences, and generational wounds.

An exciting novel about the passage of time, memory, the beauty of imperfection and the power of art in giving meaning to life. Jordi Campoy signs a story that stays with you long after the last page.
