ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A novel whose three protagonists, Celia, Albis, and Nadia, belong to a line of characters that will forever be ingrained in readers' memories; ones who, with their existential vicissitudes, will present Cuban life from the triumph of the Revolution to today.
The historical, but almost forgotten, Celia Sánchez, emblematic figure of the revolution; and Albis Torres, a poor writer, and an essential figure in the bohemian artistic world of the post-revolution, inspire the author’s creative process, who in turn makes them relive within Nadia Guerra’s socially incorrect young generation. With an energetic vitality, uncontrollable passion, courage and lucidity, Wendy Guerra, author of Todos se van / Everyone Leaves (I Premio Bruguera 2006 awarded by Eduardo Mendoza), joins autobiography and fiction in a dazzling, emotional novel filled with irony, sense of humor, and a sense of freedom.
