Un hotel de lujo que encierra una maldición; Una misteriosa huésped llegada desde Alemania. La extraña conexión entre los nazis y el régimen de Franco. Tenerife, islas Canarias, 1940. Tamara lleva media vida al servicio de los Finley, una familia de origen británico afincada en la isla que dirige un hotel de lujo y una hacienda platanera. Un mes después de la extraña desaparición de su padre, la joven criada recibe en la hacienda a una huésped muy especial, Erika Hoffmann, antropóloga alemana de prestigio a la que debe asistir durante su estancia. Lo desconcertante son los motivos secretos que han llevado a esta mujer a Canarias, pero, sobre todo, que la cientÃfica se aloja en la Casa Amarilla, una pequeña vivienda atrapada entre las fincas de la hacienda que lleva años cerrada y a la que los empleados tienen prohibida la entrada. Para Tamara es un lugar maldito, pues su padre le contó todo tipo de historias sobre ese sitio. Y las leyendas parecen ser ciertas. A partir de este momento, las vidas de Tamara y de Erika cambiarán para siempre. Después de la publicación de El secreto de La Indiana, Jorge Laguna aborda en su nueva novela las complejas y desconocidas relaciones del régimen franquista con la Alemania nazi. Secretos, conspiraciones, exotismo, relaciones prohibidas, emancipación de la mujer y selección eugenésica; La huésped de la Casa Amarilla es un viaje emocional, magnético y sorprendente que nos sitúa en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A luxury hotel with a hidden curse.
A mysterious guest from Germany.
The secret connections between the Nazis and the Franco regime.
Tenerife, Canary Islands, 1940. Tamara has spent half her life in service to the Finleys, a British family that runs a luxury hotel and banana plantation on the island. A month after the mysterious disappearance of her father, the young maid is assigned to serve a special guest: Erika Hoffmann, a prestigious German anthropologist. As Tamara soon discovers, Erika has secret reasons for being in the Canary Islands. Even more disconcerting, her quarters are in the Yellow House, a small building on the grounds that has been closed up for years and which the employees are forbidden from entering. For Tamara, it is an evil place about which her father told her many frightening stories. Now, they all seem to be true. In this follow up to The Secret of La Indiana, Jorge Laguna explores the complex and little-known ties between the Franco regime and Nazi Germany. Secrets, conspiracies, exotism, taboo relationships, women's liberation and eugenics; The Guest in the Yellow House is a gripping, emotional and surprising novel that transports readers to the era of the Second World War.
