Echoes of the Strait is a powerful literary novel that explores identity, longing, and personal destiny against the backdrop of military life and the nostalgia of an empire. From childhood memories on the southern coast of Spain to the turbulent years of transition and conflict abroad, this evocative story blends intimate emotion with historical realism. In a world shaped by duty, distance, and uncertain loyalties, some echoes are impossible to silence, especially for those who, from faraway shores, still try to recover what was lost. Today, from another shore—Lake Michigan—the narrator attempts to bring order to so many echoes and memories.
