Description
In this mesmerizing novel, Elena Medel weaves together the lives of two women across generations in Madrid, exploring themes of class, sex, and desire. Maria, a housekeeper and caregiver, navigates the city's underbelly in 1969, while her granddaughter Alicia, a young woman seeking escape, finds herself amidst the fervor of 2018 protests. Their paths unknowingly intersect, revealing the enduring struggles and silent connections that bind them. Medel's lyrical prose, honed by her poetic background, brings to life half a century of feminist movements and the universal search for meaning in a precarious world.
