Description
Qué potentes hilos pueden ligar a una anónima mujer de postguerra con una joven periodista recién divorciada del siglo XXI? Esta es la historia de dos mujeres o puede que de todas las mujeres. La nueva novela de Elisa Beni nos traslada al Madrid franquista de posguerra en una historia llena de secretos que reivindica el papel de las mujeres en la época más reciente y convulsa de la historia de España. Lara, desde un Madrid frenético y prepandémico, se lanza en busca de explicaciones sobre la vida de la mujer que murió en el piso que acaba de alquilar y que fue encontrada momificada diez años más tarde. Buscando explicación a esta vida tan aparentemente llena de soledad, probablemente busca las claves de su propio futuro. En ese camino de investigación retrospectiva, que casi roza la obsesión, descubrirá la corriente profunda que une el destino de las mujeres de todas las épocas. Esta novela es un fresco del papel no resuelto de las voces femeninas en la sociedad y un homenaje a todas aquellas vidas que el franquismo hizo transcurrir en un fondo en blanco y negro. Unas mujeres que siguen vivas en sus hijas y en sus nietas porque una mujer no muere jamás. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION What powerful threads can link an anonymous postwar woman with a newly divorced young journalist from the 21st century? This is the story of two women or maybe all women. Elisa Beni's new novel takes us to post-war Franco's Madrid in a story full of secrets that vindicates the role of women in the most recent and turbulent time in the history of Spain. Lara, from a frenzied and pre-pandemic Madrid, sets out in search of explanations about the life of the woman who died in the apartment that she just rented and that she was found mummified ten years later. Looking for an explanation to this life so seemingly full of loneliness, she is probably looking for the keys to her own future. In this path of retrospective research, which is almost bordering on obsession, she will discover the deep current that unites the destiny of women of all times.
This novel is a fresco of the unresolved role of female voices in society and a tribute to all those lives that the Franco regime made pass in a black and white background. Some women who are still alive in their daughters and granddaughters because a woman never dies.
