La niña de Rusia

1937. As the planes swooped down on Guernica, Teresa Alonso watched the bombs fall from a nearby hill and, at just twelve years old, knew that the life she had known was buried under the rubble. It was then that her mother decided that she should go to the USSR, where the children of Spanish Republicans took refuge during the Civil War. This novel tells the story of Teresa's youth, of the characters she met -the most important of the European left- and of her thirst for passion and freedom, something that she has never left behind. But it is also the story of the war that darkened the continent and of a love that, when everything collapsed, was able to sustain her universe.
