A sweeping romantic saga of forbidden love, lost heritage, and second chances in one of the world’s most seductive islands.
Three generations. Two lovers torn apart by fate. One island hiding the truth.
When Ana Ortiz returns to Ibiza to write a story about the island’s extremes—from opulence to poverty—she never expected to find herself at the heart of a mystery buried deep in her own bloodline. A forgotten VHS tape left by her grandfather reveals a secret he carried to his grave: a hidden son, born of a forbidden love that defied generations of hatred.
As Ana digs into the past, her modern life collides with a century-old feud between two of Ibiza’s most powerful families: the Montalbáns and the Salazars. Through faded letters, lost photographs, and whispers of scandal, Ana pieces together the heartbreaking story of Rosa and Bartomeu, two young lovers in 1911 whose passion ignited amid the salt flats and vineyards—only to be torn apart by pride, betrayal, and exile.
From the shimmering coastline of modern-day Ibiza to the suffocating class tensions of the early 20th century, Whispers of the Past in Ibiza is a lush and unforgettable novel about the legacies we inherit, the loves we lose, and the courage it takes to claim our truth.
