Author Description

In the Pyrenees, a winding mountain road brings together two strangers: Óscar, a middle-aged man weighed down by silence, and Benedita, a sixteen-year-old girl on the run. A simple gesture - offering her a ride - turns into an unexpected journey across Europe, marked by endless miles, fragmented conversations, and secrets slowly revealed. Between dangerous curves and legendary racetracks, an unlikely bond is forged - not of blood, but of choice. But every journey eventually circles back home. And once they return, Óscar and Benedita must face the wounds that never healed, the truths that can no longer be hidden, and the consequences of everything left behind. After the Green Hell is a powerful novel about escape and return, pain and redemption - and about how the road can change lives, but never erase what awaits at its end.
