About the Book

Esta es una historia real que nunca debió ocurrir. Este es el retrato de un mundo que nos acecha de nuevo. La vida de una mujer que concentra la emoción de todo un siglo. La nueva novela de Celia Santos cuenta la vida de Teresa Alonso, una «niña de Rusia» refugiada durante la Guerra Civil en un país ajeno, en el que el frío, la soledad, la esperanza del amor y la Segunda Guerra Mundial le mancarán para siempre.

1937. Mientras los aviones se abalanzaban sobre Guernica, Teresa Alonso miraba las bombas caer desde una colina cercana y, con solo doce años, supo que la vida que había conocido se enterraba bajo los escombros. Fue entonces cuando su madre decidió que partiera hacia a la URSS, donde los hijos de republicanos españoles se refugiaron durante la Guerra Civil. Esta novela cuenta la historia de la juventud de Teresa, de los personajes que conoció -los más importantes de la izquierda europea- y de su sed de pasión y libertad, algo que en ningún momento ha dejado atrás. Pero también es el relato de la guerra que oscureció el continente y de un amor que, cuando todo se desplomaba, fue capaz de sostener su universo.

Celia Santos nos traslada a una Rusia ya extinta, a través de los recuerdos actuales de Teresa Alonso. Así, este emocionante libro exquisitamente documentado, se convierte también en un homenaje a la última generación que ha vivido la época que marcó, como ninguna otra, la historia de la humanidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is a real story that never should have happened. It is the tale of a world that haunts us yet again. A woman's life containing the emotions of an entire century. Celia Santos' new novel recounts the life of Teresa Alonso, a "girl from Russia" during the Spanish Civil War, hiding in a faraway country where loneliness and the cold, the hope for love and the Second World War will mark her forever.

1937. While airplanes swoop in at Guernica, Teresa Alonso watches the bombs fall from a nearby hill, and at just twelve years of age, she knows the life she once knew lays buried under the rubble. It is then her mother decides to send her to the USSR, where the children of Spanish republicans take refuge during the Civil War. This novel tells the story of Teresa's youth, of the people she met--the most relevant characters in the European left-wing--and of her thirst for passion and freedom, something she has never lost, even for a moment. But it is also the tale of a war that darkened the continent, and of a love that was able to hold her entire universe when everything came crashing down.

Through Teresa Alonso's current memories, Celia Santos takes us to a Russia now extinct. This thrilling book, exquisitely documented, turns then into a tribute to the last generation of people who lived at a time that marked the history of humanity like no other.
About the Author: Celia Santos (Bergara, 1972) reside en Barcelona. Durante siete años dirigió la sección de recomendaciones literarias en Tele Taxi TV, así como la web literaria Más que palabras. Tras cursar estudios de narrativa en el Ateneo de Barcelona, ha escrito numerosos relatos y cuentos, en su mayoría dirigidos a un público infantil y juvenil. Su primera novela para adultos, La maleta de Ana, basada en la historia de las mujeres españolas que emigraron a Alemania a trabajar en los años sesenta y setenta, cultivó un gran éxito. Más rápida que la vida es su nueva novela, en ella narra la historia de Dorothy Levitt una mujer que rompió con todos los prejuicios de la época.
