UN HOMENAJE A LOS LIBROS Y A SU CAPACIDAD PARA SALVARNOS.
Madrid, 1934. Soplan vientos de cambio en la España de la Segunda República cuando Bárbara, una joven alemana que ha conseguido huir de Berlín tras la victoria del partido nazi en las elecciones, abre una pequeña librería.
Esta se convierte en un lugar donde soñar con un futuro libre y esperanzador, pero el estallido de la Guerra Civil amenaza con destruir todo lo que Bárbara ha construido. Será su amor por las letras y por un joven republicano lo que la mantenga aferrada a un país que se enfrenta a una espiral de odio y terror que ella conoce demasiado bien y que la obligará a luchar por su vida una vez más.
Una novela apasionante y rigurosamente documentada por uno de los autores españoles más traducidos y leídos en el mundo. Una historia esperanzadora frente al horror de la intolerancia. Y, por encima de todo, un indiscutible homenaje a la literatura.
