Caroline Lamarche unfolds the saga of a family that emerged in Liège at the beginning of the industrial revolution and pioneered zinc metallurgy in the Spanish province of Asturias. Traversing an era that heralded high-flying capitalism and its attendant inequalities, she recounts the work and lives of these adventurers, at the forefront of a Europe still harboring dreams of expansion.
The strong personalities she addresses, the female voices she relays, the homage paid to a father who opened the way to the archives for her, make her the enlightened heir to a fascinating and cosmopolitan family legend. The living witnesses she calls upon shake up the picture and question the hidden aspects of which she reports with lucidity, aware of being lost between two worlds.
