What is being presented
Bibiana Candia, a poet and writer from A Coruña, presents her novel Lar (Alfaguara), a work that reconstructs the epic of women whose defence of what was theirs turned them into a symbol of struggle and resistance. Published in 2026, the novel is the author’s latest work after the success of Azucre (2021), which won awards such as the Nollegiu, the Premier Roman du Chambéry, and the Espartaco at the Semana Negra de Gijón.
