La hija, by Sergio del Molino, is a compelling historical novel that brings back into focus Rosario Weiss, an artist long overshadowed by the monumental figure of Francisco de Goya. Set between memory and art, the narrative begins in Paris in 1878, where Weiss’s story resurfaces through the haunting legacy of Goya’s Black Paintings.
With elegant and evocative prose, Del Molino reconstructs not only a forgotten life but also a vibrant cultural and political moment in Spanish history. The novel offers a thoughtful reflection on how artistic canons are shaped and how certain voices are silenced over time.
Blending literary sophistication with historical insight, this work is ideal for readers drawn to art, culture, and rediscovered narratives. A refined and thought-provoking novel that restores the place of an exceptional artist whose story deserves to be told.
