El cuarto de la plancha

The iron room is a book woven with the love of mothers and the stories that are whispered in the ear before going to sleep; it is a song of love for the family with all that is chaotic, good, sad, wise and familiar; it is an outstretched hand, a mended heart and an open window to memories. It is, in short, the unique, sincere and sweet, accurate and very personal voice of Inma Chacón recounting in an unforgettable, tender, funny and close work, also heartbreaking at times, the story of her family, and her own, narrated as her most fascinating novel.From the particular relationship that she unites two twin sisters throughout her life and beyond death to the courage of a young widowed mother capable of raising her nine children; from the mystery of a grandfather who did not seem to love his grandchildren to that of a second wife in love who, not to bother her, hardly had a name; of the memory of a father with a heart so big that his chest couldn't fit the secrets hidden in an old sewing box or a rosary of yellow stones... Everything that is named in The Iron Room keeps a meaning and a story . But, above all, it treasures a feeling, an emotion, that makes this book a captivating, deep, moving work, difficult to forget.
