Francesca de Barcelona

Premi Nèstor Luján de Novel·la Històrica 2022

Perearnau, Laia

Barcelona, 1382. Francesca is a fifteen-year-old Christian girl who helps her grandmother Bonanada work as a midwife. Her grandmother teaches her the secrets of the trade and introduces her to the field of medicinal plants, but she does not have enough, and despite living in a very humble environment, she is determined to become a doctor and surgeon. There is only one problem: this is a profession reserved for men and making a place for it is almost a chimera. Thanks to her job as a midwife, she often visits Call. There he meets the Ostrich, a Jewish boy from a line of doctors who wants to study medicine. Both of them will come to an agreement to share knowledge: Francesca will teach her everything she knows about plants and he will give her access to her books. But medicine is not her only passion: Francesca is in love with Martí, her childhood friend, and with this love she will begin her adult life, a hectic life full of obstacles, love, betrayals and passions.
