About the Book

Tras su exitoso debut con La vida en un minuto, en esta emotiva novela José Antonio Lucero nos descubre la valiosa figura de las madrinas de guerra y su olvidado papel en la Guerra Civil.

¿Puede una carta de amor cambiar una vida o detener una guerra?

¿Esperarías esas palabras hasta el final de tus días?

Madrid, 1936. Aurora acaba de cumplir la mayoría de edad y ejerce como enfermera en una ciudad convulsa que resiste al fuego y a las bombas de la guerra. En este clima de violencia, decide contribuir a la esperanza en el frente republicano y comienza a escribirse con un joven soldado, Teófilo, convirtiéndose así -como otras muchas mujeres de la época- en madrina de guerra.

En cada carta, los jóvenes encontrarán un refugio donde expresar los miedos y secretos que no pueden decir en voz alta al tiempo que descubren un amor que nunca imaginaron. Sin embargo, en una guerra repleta de intrigas y espionaje, en la que todo el mundo es sospechoso, la palabra escrita puede ser el arma más peligrosa...

Cuando años después, aislado en el silencio de la posguerra, Teófilo averigua que Aurora sigue con vida, no duda en intentar recuperar a la persona que, entre el fuego y la pólvora, hizo florecer en él el amor, la calma y la paz.

Este relato supone un homenaje a todas aquellas mujeres que tomaron la palabra como fusil y consiguieron hacer crecer en la línea de fuego la fortaleza y la esperanza de los soldados.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After his successful debut with Life in a Minute, José Antonio Lucero reveals the valuable figure of the "godmothers of war" and the forgotten role they played in the Spanish Civil War.

Can a love letter change a life? Could it stop a war?

Would you wait for that letter until your last day?

Madrid, 1936. Aurora has just come of age. She works as a nurse in a city resisting fire and bombings. Amidst the violence, she decides to bring hope to the republican front, corresponding with a young soldier, Teófilo, thus becoming (like many other women then) a "war godmother".

In every letter, these youngsters find refuge. In them, they can express what they cannot say out loud, while discovering a love they never imagined. But in a war in which everyone could be a spy, written words can be exceptionally dangerous.

Years later, in the silence of the post-war period, Teófilo finds out that Aurora is still alive. He immediately tries to bring the person who gave him love and peace, despite the fire and gunpowder, back into his life.

This story is a tribute to all those women who took the floor as a rifle and managed to make the strength and hope of the soldiers grow in the line of fire.
