Overview

Una revelación literaria: una novela sorprendente sobre tres generaciones de mujeres y su relación tumultuosa con el dinero, el amor, la belleza y las convenciones sociales.

«Me fascinó por su lucidez a la hora de retratar la hipocresía del conservadurismo español; pero es que también me hizo reír a carcajadas con su radiografía de las relaciones románticas contemporáneas [...]. Sevillana lo tiene todo: trama, ideas, lirismo». -Luna Miguel

Sevillana es la historia de Alejandra Díez de la Cortina, una joven arquitecta de interiores que está a punto de casarse con Gonzalo, su novio de toda la vida. Los dos son sevillanos pero viven en Madrid por motivos laborales. A Alejandra le ha pasado lo que a muchas jóvenes de su ambiente: cuando la relación se consolida, el hastío amenaza entre monterías de caza, paseos a caballo e interminables partidas de golf. Es entonces, durante uno de esos eventos sociales, cuando un amigo de Gonzalo comienza a acercarse peligrosamente a ella.

Esta es también la historia de su abuela, que acaba de quedarse viuda y se siente muy sola, aunque es feliz ante la idea de la boda de su nieta. Y es, por último, la historia de su madre, que tiene una obsesión secreta y que está más irascible que nunca: esa vida de apariencias, fiestas y prejuicios ya no le llena. ¿Qué une realmente a esas tres generaciones de mujeres? ¿Por qué los miedos de su madre son tan importantes para las decisiones que deberá tomar Alejandra? Charo Lagares deslumbra con una primera novela emocionante y divertida sobre los vínculos de una familia de la clase alta y conservadora de Sevilla.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A literary revelation: A surprising novel about three generations of women and their tumultuous relationships with money, love, beauty and social convention.
 
“I was fascinated by its lucid portrait of the hypocrisy of conservative Spanish society, but I also laughed out loud at its incisive view of contemporary romantic relationships [...]. Sevillana has it all: plot, ideas, lyricism.” -Luna Miguel
 
Sevillana is the story of Alejandra Díez de la Cortina, a young interior designer about to marry Gonzalo, her childhood sweetheart.  Originally from Seville but now living and working in Madrid, Alejandra finds herself in the same situation as many other young women in her social circle: With her romantic future secure, she begins to feel bored by the routine of hunting parties, horseback rides, and endless rounds of golf.  It’s at one of those interminable social events that she draws dangerously close to one of Gonzalo’s friends.
 
Just as integral to the plot is the story of Alejandra’s grandmother, newly widowed and lonely and looking forward to her granddaughter’s wedding.  And finally, there is Alejandra’s mother, who has a secret obsession and is more irascible than ever as she finds that a life of appearances, parties, and prejudices no longer fulfills her.  What links these three generations of women? Why do her mother’s fears weigh so heavily on Alejandra’s decisions?  Charo Lagares’s first novel is an exciting and entertaining look at relationships in conservative upper-class Sevillian family.
