ENGLAND, 1916. Lou Crane, a promising young dancer, is plucked from the stage to fight in the Great War.

Two years later, he returns with a permanent limp and the certainty that he will never dance again. As well as his dreams, the war has taken away those dearest to him, and as life takes its course, Lou is left behind.

When she is offered the chance to teach drama lessons to children in a small remote village, Lou finds it an opportunity to escape from a London that reminds her of all she has lost. To his surprise, after the daytime classes, he is introduced to an inexplicable group of pupils who only come at night.

Helping other people's ghosts find peace is easier than facing one's own, even if it means balancing on the border of death.

Lo frágil y lo eterno is Bruno Puelles' debut in literary fiction for adults. With skill and great sensitivity in bringing the characters to life, he immerses the reader in a corner of post-World War I Europe full of stories that need to be told.
