Ysabel – The Story Through the Pfaff Sewing Machine

An intimate novel about family, memory, and the secrets that stitch us together. Grandma’s Pfaff doesn’t just join fabric: it weaves generations, guards silences, and reveals truths.

Synopsis (no spoilers)

In Campeche, a Pfaff sewing machine stays with a family for years. Through stitches, silences, and difficult choices, Ysabel discovers that her family’s story is made of scraps: real loves and false ones, loyalty, loss, and a secret spanning generations.
