La extraordinaria historia de la mujer que escribió en la sombra algunas de las obras más importantes del siglo XX. -Por la autora de
Mujeres que compran flores.
La fascinante aventura de una mujer silenciada por la historia oficial... hasta ahora.
Cuando a la directora teatral Noelia Cid le encargan estrenar
Sortilegio
, la obra perdida del reputado dramaturgo Gregorio Martínez Sierra, decide informarse sobre ella a través de los documentos que conservó su mujer, María Lejárraga. Sin embargo, a través de su investigación Noelia no sólo se sumerge en la compleja relación amorosa entre María y Gregorio sino que va a encontrarse con un misterio que lleva más de un siglo sin resolver. Se verá entonces arrastrada por la vida llena de pasión, arte y feminismo de María, alguien que luchó contra viento y marea por ejercer su vocación y que vivió en primera línea los grandes hitos del siglo pasado: el Madrid literario de los años veinte, el París de la Belle Époque, la lucha política de las mujeres durante la Segunda República, el exilio tras la Guerra Civil, la ocupación de Francia por los nazis o el glamour de la época dorada de Hollywood. Además descubriremos la versión más humana de las grandes personalidades que fueron sus amigos y colaboradores como Juan Ramón Jiménez, Manuel de Falla o Federico García Lorca.
«Vanessa Montfort ha tomado una figura casi desconocida de nuestra historia cultural para escribir una novela apasionada y maravillosa.» -JULIA NAVARRO.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"The extraordinary story of the woman who wrote some of the most important works of the 20th century in the shadows. -By the author of Women Who Buy Flowers.
The fascinating adventure of a woman silenced by history... until now.
When the theater director Noelia Cid was commissioned to premiere Sortilegio, the lost work of the renowned playwright Gregorio Martínez Sierra, she decided to research it using the documents kept by his wife, María Lejárraga. However, through her research, Noelia not only immerses herself in the complex love relationship between María and Gregorio, but also encounters a mystery that has been unsolved for more than a century. She’ll then be carried away by the passion, art and feminism of María's life, someone who fought against all odds to exercise her vocation and who lived during some of the last century’s greatest milestones: the literary Madrid of the 1920s, the Paris of the Belle Époque, women’s political struggle during the Second Republic, the exile after the Civil War, the Nazi occupation of France, and the glamor of the golden age of Hollywood. We will also discover the most human version of the great personalities that were her friends and collaborators such as Juan Ramón Jiménez, Manuel de Falla, and Federico García Lorca.
"Vanessa Montfort has taken an almost unknown figure from our cultural history and written a passionate and wonderful novel." -JULIA NAVARRO. "
