A review by blueyorkie
Os Ares Difíceis by Almudena Grandes

5.0

Almudena Grandes offers us, as usual, a long-winded story, six hundred pages, where she tells us about unfailing friendships, loves that stick to the skin, especially when they are unmentionable, a tale of grudges, of fears, where the characters play their all to float on their past, this past which gangrenes Spain between the haves and those who have lost everything or almost with the victory of Franco and, no doubt, who have left their dignity.
A lovely moment of reading, despite some lengths. But that makes you want to go even further to discover what this author has imagined as other scenarios.
