La plaza del Diamante

Rodoreda, Mercè

This is the story of Natalia, known as "Colometa", a female representation of those women who had to live through a particularly hard and cruel period in the history of Spain: the Civil War and the postwar period. Thus, Colometa will see her loved ones leave and die, she will go hungry and miserable and will often find herself unable to raise her children. Plunged into an unhappy marriage with a selfish man, she renounces her own identity and gives all the prominence to her husband, accepting the conventions of the time. But life and circumstances will force Colometa and the rest of the characters to grow... A faithful chronicle of post-war Barcelona, this seemingly small book is a literary gem, and undoubtedly one of the best Spanish novels of the 20th century. and the masterpiece, according to critics, of Catalan women's literature.
