La rosa escondida
After selling more than 300,000 copies of her first two books, the author of Un burka por amor and Amor cruel returns with a new novel based on a true story. The book is based on the heart-wrenching story of an immigrant who flees the Bosnian war to go to Spain. After leaving behind violence, the loss of loved ones, and bitter disillusionment, Zehera wants to start a new life, but her courage and ability to overcome adversity won’t be enough to defeat the mafias, racial hatred and desire for vengeance which she encounters. Only through her strong bond with her sister, the unconditional friendship of a Spanish woman who saves her life and a new love, will she be able to rise above the cruel fate that will confront her with her past.
A novel in which love and friendship mingle with the harsh reality of immigration, the mafia and the struggle to move forward despite adversity.
