The Daughter

The Daughter "La Hija" by Sergio del Molino, published by Alfaguara in 2026, delves into the life of Rosario Weiss, a figure obscured by the towering legacy of Francisco de Goya. The novel, comprising 688 pages, weaves a narrative around Juan Antonio Rascón's journey to Paris in 1878, where he seeks to view Goya's paintings, only to encounter the enigmatic black paintings from the Quinta del Sordo. Del Molino crafts a fictionalized account that explores themes of hidden histories and the complex relationships behind artistic legends, offering readers a glimpse into a lesser-known story intertwined with one of Spain's most celebrated artists.
