La piedra angular: novela

In a dimly lit consulting room of late‑nineteenth‑century Madrid, the weary Dr. Moragas—a seasoned psychiatrist—sits amid piles of unopened letters and a fresh issue of a medical journal. His routine is interrupted when a vivacious little girl, Nené, bursts in, turning the solemn atmosphere into a scene of playful chaos. Her bright eyes and mischievous grin contrast sharply with the cold, orderly array of surgical tools and anatomical busts that line the walls.

Through Nené’s innocent curiosity, the narrative gently explores the tension between scientific rigor and the unfiltered wonder of childhood. As the doctor attempts to restore order, the reader is drawn into the subtle dynamics of a household where medicine, family, and lingering melancholy intersect. The opening promises a delicate balance of humor, tender observation, and the looming questions of what lies beneath the surface of both the mind and the household’s secrets.
