El debut de Mónica Subietas es una conmovedora novela que nos habla de amor, amistad y traición, de tiempos oscuros y días felices.
Suiza, 1942. En plena Segunda Guerra Mundial, el Gobierno Federal decide cerrar la frontera a los refugiados. Hermann Messmer ayuda a un judío a entrar ilegalmente en el país, aunque poco después el hombre desaparece en la espesura del bosque.
Setenta años más tarde Max Müller, un famoso pintor, yace inconsciente en su estudio de Zúrich. Le han disparado con una pistola de clavos. Unos meses antes Gottfried Messmer, el hijo de Hermann, recibe el legado de su padre: un bastón y una carta lacrada, depositados en una caja de seguridad de un banco suizo. El bastón esconde un lienzo valioso, Waldinneres, y la carta, escrita por Hermann, insta a Gottfried a encontrar a su dueño legítimo.
La búsqueda llevará a Gottfried a indagar en la vida de su padre, a quien apenas conoció, y lo que va a encontrar en el pasado le llevará a cuestionarse su presente y su futuro. ¿Cómo llegó el cuadro a manos de Hermann? ¿Dónde está el dueño del lienzo? ¿Qué sabe Max Müller?
El bosque en silencio es una historia conmovedora; una trama de suspense que flirtea con el tráfico de arte expoliado y el verdadero origen del secreto bancario; una novela que habla de lealtad y traición, de amistad y de amor, de tiempos oscuros y días felices.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Me ha fascinado cómo, a partir de los cambios de mano de una pequeña pintura, un rectangulito apenas, Mónica Subietas nos lleva desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta nuestros días para hablarnos del peso de la culpa, de deudas pendientes, de heroísmo y expolio, de venganza, amor y codicia, de cómo la historia marca nuestro presente.»
Rosa Ribas
«Un apasionante thriller en el que la autora se sumerge en la apasionante historia del arte que los nazis robaron a los judíos y que todavía hoy no se ha acabado de localizar.»
La Vanguardia
«Bien narrada, de desarrollo ágil y muy entretenida.»
La huella de los libros
«Una historia que bebe del comienzo de las purgas contra los judíos enAlemania y lleva sus consecuencias hasta el día de hoy.» «Una de las grandes virtudes que tiene esta novela es la credibilidad.»
