Summary
"Few writers from the late 20th and early 21st centuries have been so widely read, have amassed so many awards, critics, and readers, and have sparked such admiration and love as Almudena Grandes. Voracious reader, Almudena wrote so her generation… could be as modern as her grandmothers' generation had been during the Second Republic. Determined to reclaim the traces of a past obscured by dictatorship, she researched, uncovered, and fictionalized the very margins of a forgotten country, turning memory into the axis of her literary work, so becoming a tracker of characters and stories. But Almudena not only had the secret of literature, but knew how to win at life to always keep her joy intact. These pages are a journey through the years and words of a woman committed with her time, but above all, with books. As other authors of her generation, Aroa Moreno Durán grew up reading Almudena Grandes and had the immense fortune of knowing her. This book asserts her memory and her work, and together with Ana Jarén, pays Almudena Grandes a heartfelt tribute." -- Provided by publisher
