LA SONATA DEL SILENCIO

Marta Ribas had a promising future when she met Antonio, but a misunderstood loyalty will disrupt their lives. When Antonio falls ill, Marta is forced to start work, exposing herself to the gossip of neighbours and her husband's indignation as his manly pride is dented. But Marta comes across an unexpected opportunity that will allow her to secure her own survival and that of her daughter, and to finally find her place in the world. The Sonata of Silence is a novel of passion, jealousy and dreams. It is the story of post-war Spain, chestnut sellers and coalmen, Chicote cocktails and black market nylon stockings. It is a commonplace building where wealth and poverty, triumph and failure are separated by only a partition wall.
