La soledad de la reina

This is an intimate and courageous book that goes beyond the solemnity of official photographs, the hieratic smile, the paraphernalia of the court and also canonical biographies, to reach for the first time that unknown and mysterious territory that is the soul of Sofía. A cold woman on the outside, but passionate on the inside, with a difficult childhood, a tormented youth, and a long maturity filled with moments of full happiness and also enormous disappointments and suffering. A biography that provides unpublished data and interesting characters, which shows us a queen who has earned, with great sacrifices and a high personal cost, the place she occupies in the history of Spain, but whose private life has not contributed the happiness that every human being deserves. Princess of a poor and marginal country, she knew hunger, cold, rats... In the harshest exile of a world on fire, she grew up next to parents with overwhelming personalities, fell in love with someone who did not love her, got married with whom she owed and fought like a beast at the side of her husband in a vibrant and dangerous period of our past to get to occupy the throne of Spain. Has it been worth it? Has the price been too high? La soledad de la reina approaches this biography in depth, with respect, but also with a scalpel in hand, with the intention of shedding more light on an exciting life, with which we will laugh, cry, be indignant and also be amazed and moved for a few moments. Incredible events that seem not to fit in a single human life.
