Hudson by Hernán Ronsino

Hudson by Hernán Ronsino

While on tour in Europe, pianist Juan Sebastián Lebonté learns of his father’s death. Returning to Buenos Aires, he’s faced with a crumbling marriage, buried family secrets, and a surprising inheritance: a piece of land in Paso del Rey, now occupied by a community of workers who once dreamed of revolution.As he takes on a new identity – working with his hands, digging into the past – he begins to unravel the mystery of his father, a forgotten factory, and the American pianist whose music haunted his life.Hudson is a haunting novel of memory, transformation, and the quiet violence that lingers beneath the surface of history. In a place shaped by resistance, the search for truth might lead to redemption – or ruin.
