LA GRAN NOVELA DE LA BARCELONA OBRERA

La emotiva crónica de una época. Un espléndido retrato de nuestra niñez, nuestras familias y nuestros barrios. Por el ganador del primer Certamen Internacional de Novela Histórica «Ciudad de Úbeda .

UN BARRIO. UNA FAMILIA. UNA LUCHA COMÚN.

Extrarradio de Barcelona, década de los setenta. En el barrio todo está cambiando a gran velocidad. Las fábricas y los bloques de pisos han transformado lo que antes eran descampados, pero todavía queda mucho por hacer. Las protestas proliferan y no solo reclaman colegios y parques, también piden más derechos en una España que vive aún sumisa por el franquismo. Una de esas voces es la de Leonor.

La cordobesa emigró al norte en busca de un futuro mejor. Diez años después, le preocupa el rumbo que han tomado sus hijos. Sobre todo, Lucía. Firme defensora de la lucha obrera, la joven ha conseguido el sueño de muchos en la periferia de Barcelona: trabajar en la SEAT, la mítica fábrica de coches. Sin embargo, este hito trae inesperados desafíos a la familia.

Leonor, Lucía y, más tarde, Esperanza y Laura deberán aferrarse a sus ideales cuando la vida les muestre su cara más amarga. Tres generaciones de mujeres que serán testigos de un tiempo marcado por las revueltas sociales y la violencia, pero también por el amor y las ansias de libertad.

Con la épica de las grandes novelas, esta apasionante saga familiar nos traslada a una España en transformación, donde los barrios y sus gentes protagonizaron un momento histórico único.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

AN EPIC NOVEL ABOUT BARCELONA'S WORKING CLASS

A heartfelt chronicle of an era. A magnificent portrait of our children, families and neighborhoods by the winner of the first International "City of Úbeda" Historical Novel Contest.

A NEIGHBORHOOD. A FAMILY. A COMMON STRUGGLE.

The outskirts of Barcelona, 1970s. The neighborhood is changing fast. Factories and apartment buildings are transforming what were once vacant lots, but there's still a lot to do. Protests are the order of the day, with the populace demanding schools and parks, as well as more rights in a Spain still ruled by Francoism. One of those protesters is Leonor.

A native of Córdoba, she moved north ten years ago in search of a better future for her family. Now she is worried about the path her children have taken, especially Lucía. A defender of the working class, the young woman has achieved the dream of many of her peers in the Barcelona suburbs: a job at SEAT, the legendary car manufacturer. Her position, however, soon poses unexpected challenges for her family.

Leonor, Lucía and, later, Esperanza and Laura, struggle to hold onto their ideals when life shows them its bitter side. Three generations of women will witness an era marked by violence and social upheaval, but also love and a quest for freedom.

In the style of the great epic novels, this passionate family saga transports us to a Spain in the process of transformation, whose people and neighborhoods are the protagonists of a historic turning point.
