THE CUCKOO AND THE CUCKQUEAN

Part One

Valencia Province 1914

EXTRACT

I am Liliana.

I am a cuckoo

placed in a stranger’s nest.

Not secretly, but brazenly.

Not once, but twice.

I am not here yet.

My story is incubating,

but soon you will discover it.

Until then, the stories of

Maria and Rosa

will lead

you

in.
