Henry Terol was born in Alicante in 1958.
An inveterate reader since early childhood, a hobby that combined more bad than good with Math and Latin classes, he preferred to spend his free time in the school playground reading Dickens, Victor hugo and Dumas as well as drawing comics, far from the din of the football matches played by his pals. In his teens he would be carried away by the desire to shoot Super 8 films in which he attempted to recreate the cinematographic world of his salad days with the few means available to him at the time.
In 1978 he collaborated in the creation of the magazine Mocha the Anti-Trocha, together with the nick-named Juan Prestón, future creator of Norma Editions. During the years 1986-1987, he also wrote as an unconventional film critic for The Alicante Guide. In 1988 he read for English Literature at Alicante University. During the long vacation of 198 he did a postgraduate course on English Art and Literature at Selwyn College, Cambridge.
“Elena’s Smile” is his first novel.
Mythomanic and anglophile, he continues living in Alicante, eternally dreaming of rainy and snowy landscapes.
Burgos, Spain, Christmas Eve 1257.
Princess Kristina Håkonsdatter of Norway arrives in the city en route to Valladolid in order to marry Alfonso X the Wise, since Queen Violante had failed to give birth to a male heir to the Castilian throne. Eight centuries later,
Carlos Lafuente, a devoted paleographer from Montanilla University, is tasked with preparing a report on the validity of some manuscripts discovered near Silos Monastery.
What he couldn't anticipate was to what degree this ordinary task would alter the course of his life. With the assistance of Arthur Trevelyan, a postgraduate student, and Elena Serna, a colleague in the same paleo-graphic department, the trio will investigate the cryptic clues discovered there, relying primarily on their instincts. Present and past will intertwine like invisible knots that Arthur prefers to qualify as "significant coincidences"—the invisible threads that move the world bringing the small group of scholars to a surprising conclusion in a gripping and moving story full of intrigue, humour, love and adventure.
A story that reads as a tale under the rain.
