Helena or the Summer Sea

Original Title: Helena o el mar del verano

When it originally came out in 1952, Helena o el mar del verano was considered by the many enthusiastic readers to be one of the best works of post-war Spanish fiction. The suggestive power and lyricism of Ayesta’s writing continues to endure.
