Overview
Una impresionante novela sobre el amor, la resiliencia y el sacrificio, protagonizada por mujeres de tres generaciones unidas por una vieja máquina de escribir Olivetti, del autor español bestseller Mario Escobar.
Ana, de casi treinta años, regresa a España con su familia tras años de exilio. En el polvoriento ático de la finca familiar, se topa con una vieja máquina de escribir Olivetti, la misma en la que su madre, Carmen, y su abuela, Jocelyn, forjaron su destino como escritoras. Para Jocelyn, escribir era un secreto, su nombre un seudónimo. Carmen solo había alcanzado un reconocimiento fugaz publicando relatos cortos y ensayos. Atraída por este descubrimiento inesperado, Ana se embarca en un viaje para reconstruir la historia de las mujeres de su familia: sus dificultades, su pasión por la escritura y su lucha por hacer oír su voz.
El viaje de Ana es más que una búsqueda personal: es un reflejo de la lucha más amplia a la que se enfrentan las escritoras de todas las generaciones, un homenaje a aquellas que lucharon por plasmar sus palabras en el papel a pesar de los obstáculos que tuvieran enfrente.
-----
A breathtaking novel about love, resilience, and sacrifice, featuring three generations of women linked by an old Olivetti typewriter, from Spanish bestselling author Mario Escobar.
Ana, nearly thirty, returns to Spain with her family after years in exile. In the dust-laden attic of the family estate, she stumbles upon an old Olivetti typewriter—the very one on which her mother, Carmen, and grandmother, Jocelyn, shaped her destiny as writers. For Jocelyn, writing was a secret, her name a pseudonym. Carmen had only glimpsed recognition, publishing short stories and essays. Drawn in by this unexpected discovery, Ana embarks on a journey to piece together the history of the women in her family—their struggles, their passion for writing, and their fight to have their voices heard.
Ana’s journey is more than a personal quest—it is a reflection of the larger struggle faced by women writers across generations, a tribute to those who fought to put their words on paper despite the obstacles before them.
