Miqui Otero's Orchestra is a novel of abuses of rural power, gender and class prejudices, hopes and frustrations of a lineage, a municipality, a country. The novel is delivered at a constant pace, punctuated by pop references and somewhat predictable italicized Galicianisms.

The author seems to be with the greatest vocation of going beyond the author's own biographical experience with a broader horizons, writes Ortega. The book is published by ORCHESTRA ESTRA, priced at £16.99, and is available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
