It opens with the story of a young boy who has returned from his French boarding school to his uncle's bakery, where his family hopes he will speak again. He's been silent since an incident in which he threw a stone at a teacher for reasons unknown. With the assistance of twin brothers who take him to a river in the forest, he'll recover his speech. As the years pass, those twins, now adults, will be part of a mining strike in the Ugarte region, and so take up the mantle of the narrative, just as others will after them. 650 0 Mute persons|vFiction. 650 0 Brothers|vFiction. 650 0 Strikes and lockouts|vFiction. 650 0 Twins|vFiction. 650 0 Historical fiction. 651 0 País Vasco (Spain)|vFiction. 655 7 Domestic fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 700 1 Costa, Margaret Jull,|etranslator. 700 1 Bunstead, Thomas,|etranslator. 730 0 Etxeak eta hilobiak .|lEnglish.
