Cerrando el círculo narra la historia iniciática de Thiara, una niña que, tras la muerte de sus padres, es rescatada por un monje que la conducirá a un extraño monasterio, donde los conocimientos ancestrales le son desvelados y en el que debe pasar numerosas pruebas hasta convertirse en una mujer libre. Allí conoce a Urián, un joven del que se enamora y que le dará un nuevo giro a su existencia. Junto a él decide partir de ese lugar, viajando hacia un mundo desconocido hasta entonces para ella, en el que tendrá que llevar a la práctica todo lo aprendido, poner a prueba sus conocimientos y luchar por conservar sus ideales; ideales que chocarán con la sociedad de una época marcada por la violencia, para, finalmente, y después de muchas vicisitudes, encontrar su verdadero destino. Aunque la trama discurre a finales del siglo III de nuestra era, Cerrando el Círculo es una novela que muestra unos valores y un modo de vida más que necesario en nuestros días; un modo de existir hacia el que debemos volver nuestra mirada, porque, sin duda, representa también nuestro futuro.

Cosas curiosas pueden ocurrir. Inesperadamente, uno de los protagonistas de la novela recibe una carta procedente de una notaría. En ella se le anuncia, nada menos, su designación como beneficiario de una colosal herencia. Desconcertado por la noticia, se plantea rechazarla. Casi simultáneamente otro protagonista recibe una notificación de la misma notaría respecto a su derecho a percibir la misma herencia. La resolución del conflicto planteado y otros acontecimientos ocupan el resto del relato.
“I wonder what Mr. Heritage thought of his godson,” she said quickly. “Rather clumsy, but quite good manners,” Edith remarked. “And a well-shaped skull.” These were her own views, but she took it for granted that sensible people would agree with her. Sisters Edith and Rose have rather come down in the world by keeping their hotel, Seaview House. So Mr Heritage believes, and he’s not pleased when Rose’s daughter Lucy—grown a bit too attractive for his comfort—becomes friendly with his godson Edward. Would-be paramour Nevil isn’t thrilled either, and to complicate matters further, Edward is behind a scheme to build new terraced housing, depriving village residents of their coveted sea view. Dilemmas and dramas unfold—including a fire, a cook’s prophecy, and a disaster of a luncheon—but the loose ends get tied up in Elizabeth Fair’s cheerful, inimitable style. Furrowed Middlebrow is delighted to make available, for the first time in over half a century, all six of Elizabeth Fair’s irresistible comedies of domestic life. These new editions all feature an introduction by Elizabeth Crawford. “light-hearted, shrewd, diverting”--New York Times “Miss Fair makes writing look very easy, and that is the measure of her creative ability.”--Compton Mackenzie
Las leyendas son narraciones, transmitidas oralmente, que tienen su origen en un hecho real pero que a través del tiempo ha ido recogiendo, hasta llegar a nosotros la urdimbre cultural del pueblo que las ha dado a luz, concluyendo generalmente en escenarios fantástico-imaginativa. En las leyendas quedan proyectados los valores, los principios, las creencias del pueblo que las engendró. En definitiva de la cultura del pueblo que las originó. Siempre y cuando consideremos cultura a la forma peculiar de interpretar la realidad que posee una determinada colectividad humana.
