ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The extraordinary story of the woman who wrote some of the most important works of the 20th century in the shadows. -By the author of Women Who Buy Flowers.

The fascinating adventure of a woman silenced by history... until now.

When the theater director Noelia Cid was commissioned to premiere Sortilegio, the lost work of the renowned playwright Gregorio Mart nez Sierra, she decided to research it using the documents kept by his wife, Mar a Lej rraga. However, through her research, Noelia not only immerses herself in the complex love relationship between Mar a and Gregorio, but also encounters a mystery that has been unsolved for more than a century. She'll then be carried away by the passion, art and feminism of Mar a's life, someone who fought against all odds to exercise her vocation and who lived during some of the last century's greatest milestones: the literary Madrid of the 1920s, the Paris of the Belle poque, women's political struggle during the Second Republic, the exile after the Civil War, the Nazi occupation of France, and the glamor of the golden age of Hollywood. We will also discover the most human version of the great personalities that were her friends and collaborators such as Juan Ram n Jim nez, Manuel de Falla, and Federico Garc a Lorca.

"Vanessa Montfort has taken an almost unknown figure from our cultural history and written a passionate and wonderful novel." -JULIA NAVARRO. "
