The Loom of Lekeitio

About this book

In the winter of 1910, an ailing archivist visits a remote monastery to record the testimony of Aitor Arrieta, the last surviving resident of a forgotten Basque village. Aitor recounts the bizarre events of 1845, when a galleon carved entirely from petrified wood drifted into the harbor of Lekeitio, carrying a cargo of bottled memories and a thick, unnatural fog. As the village's reality begins to warp—manifested through a cynical priest who weeps saltwater, a weaver whose tapestries dictate the future, and a smuggler whose shadow acts on its own—a disparate group of outcasts must unite. They must decipher the shared dreams afflicting their town and confront the ancient cultural myths bleeding into their daily lives before Lekeitio is entirely erased from existence.
