A los pies de Venus (los Borgia) : novela

Claudio Borja has drifted through identical days, his life a quiet monotony of unmarked time. A newspaper from Paris reminds him how the hours slip by, and the unexpected arrival of Rosaura Salcedo, a veiled widow, shatters his isolation. In the shade of an orange grove near Castellón, their meeting feels like a spell, turning ordinary moments into something luminous and urgent.

Together they abandon routine, hopping on trains and automobiles that whisk them from the sun‑kissed coasts of Spain to the elegant promenades of Marseille, the breezy cliffs of Biarritz, and the glittering canals of Venice. Each new city is filtered through Rosaura’s eyes, and Claudio discovers the world humming with an elastic rhythm that makes him feel as if he could leap and hover in mid‑air. Their secret hotel rooms and whispered promises hint at a love both daring and fragile, setting the stage for a journey where passion and destiny begin to intertwine.
