Susana Fortes (1959), candidate of geographical and historical sciences, university lecturer, is also one of the most prominent names in modern Spanish literature, she is the winner of many awards. It is distinguished by a virtuosic style and “soft rigidity” of the narrative. “Borders of Sand” is a book that can be read in one breath, since it is a kind of fusion of a thriller, detective story, spy action film and romance novel. At the center of the story is the fate of three people: two men and a woman, who were brought together, using the words of Salvador Dali, by “the premonition of the Civil War.”
