Synopsis "CRONICA DEL DESAMOR (in Spanish)"

La primera obra de Rosa Montero. El retrato de una generación española.

PREMIO NACIONAL DE LAS LETRAS 2017

Rosa Montero retrata con audacia la historia de Ana. quien deberá cumplir con las exigencias de su trabajo como redactora en una revista. cuidar de su hijo y navegar por la noctámbula vida del convulso Madrid de finales de los setenta.

Crónica del desamor es la primera novela de la autora y una obra clave para entender las inquietudes de una generación que se sentía a la vez poderosa y desorientada. y que aún no sabía jugar a manejar su libertad sin herirse.

«Una novela estrechamente pegada a una realidad generacional. Un retrato en directo de aquellos años ardientes de la Transición. Tengo la rara sensación de que esta novela la hemos escrito de algún modo entre todos [...]. Crónica del desamor nos muestra una instantánea de lo que fuimos.»
Rosa Montero
