Join writer Fernando Aramburu in conversation with Rosa Ribas as they explore Aramburu's latest novel, "Maite". Set in San Sebastián during the summer of 1997, the novel tells the poignant story of Maite, a sensitive woman whose life takes unexpected turns when her sister Elene returns from the United States to care for their mother after a stroke. Over the course of their time together, the three women grapple with unspoken truths and family tensions amidst the backdrop of social unrest, including the kidnap of local politician Miguel Ángel Blanco by ETA, which adds urgency to their personal challenges. Aramburu crafts a deeply human narrative that captures the emotional realities of Basque memory through its richly drawn characters and compelling storytelling. With an exceptional literary journey marked by empathy and psychological depth, "Maite" highlights Aramburu's prominence as a leading European storyteller.
