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.
