La plaza del Diamante

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 a particularly harsh and cruel period in the history of Spain: the Civil War and the post-war period. Thus, Colometa will see her loved ones leave and die, she will go hungry and misery and will often be unable to raise her children. She sunk in 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 postwar Barcelona, this book is apparently often a literary jewel, and without a doubt one of the best Spanish novels of the 20th century and the masterpiece, according to the critics, of Catalan women's literature.
