A corazón abierto

Starting from an episode that occurred in Madrid in 1939, the narrator of this story tells the passionate and stormy relationship of her parents, and how his excessive personality and her weak heart marked the pulse of the life of the entire family. A corazón abierto is a novel that travels our country through a century of great changes and contains a tribute to a generation, that of those who remained in Spain in the immediate postwar period, those who, without complaint or regret, concentrated on surviving. From the empathetic and curious gaze of a great observer who knows how to transform every flash of memory into fiction, Elvira Lindo turns her parents into literary characters to approach them with freedom, lucidity and wisdom. As if it were a musical composition, each chapter is a demonstration of great technique at the service of the pure pleasure of narrating the lights and shadows of a past that has become great literature forever.
