RENUNCIARÍAS A TU SUEÑO POR CONTENTAR A TU FAMILIA?

Madrid, 1966, bienvenidos a la aventura épica de una ama de casa que quiere ser AVIADORA

Una novela tan real como la vida misma

Amelia Torres es una ama de casa que está a punto de ganar La mujer ideal, el concurso de televisión del momento.

Lo que está en juego es un suculento premio que puede cambiar su vida... y la de su marido Armando, que quiere comprarse un apartamento en Torremolinos..., y la de su hija Carmen, que quiere una vespa..., e incluso la de su madre Victorina, que quiere un televisor...

Todos en su familia quieren que gane, pero qué desea realmente Amelia Torres?

Apostar por su sueño pondrá patas arriba los cimientos de su familia y del país entero.

Ambientada en la realidad histórica de finales de los años 60, en plena dictadura, la escritora Virginia Llera reconstruye con maestría un retablo de acciones cotidianas que marcaron de algún modo el papel de las mujeres en la actualidad. Aviadora es una novela coral, divertida, con ecos de la cultura popular, dinámica, fresca y emotiva. Un homenaje a las mujeres que decidieron dejar atrás la obligación de ser esposas y madres perfectas y se atrevieron a soñar. Incluso, a volar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

WOULD YOU GIVE UP YOUR LIFE'S DREAM TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY HAPPY?

Madrid, 1966. Welcome to the epic adventure of a housewife who wants to be an AVIATOR.

A novel as real as life itself

Amelia Torres is a housewife and one step away from winning the Ideal Woman contest, the hottest show on television.

At stake is a fat prize that could change her life... and the life of Armando, her husband, who dreams of an apartment in Torremolinos. Carmen, their daughter, wants a Vespa, and even Amelia's mother, Victorina, chimes in with a request for a new television set.

They all want her to win, but what does Amelia Torres want?

Chasing her dream would mean rocking the foundations of her family and the entire nation.

Setting her story in the late 1960s, at the height of the Franco dictatorship, Virginia Llera masterfully recreates dynamics that, to some extent, shaped the role of women today. The Aviator is a fun read, a novel with multiple protagonists and pop culture references, dynamic, fresh and impactful. A tribute to those women brave enough to set aside their obligations as perfect wives and mothers and dare to dream. Even to fly.
