«El abrigo verde» is the young adult novel by Maria Gripe, published by Ediciones SM in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
Fredrika is a young woman who doesn't quite recognize herself: she feels dragged along by those around her and by the models her mother wants to impose on her. That family pressure, combined with a lack of her own identity, pushes her to find her place. One Saturday in May she decides to change her ways and learns to relate to her family from a new perspective.
It belongs to the Alerta roja collection, number 18. Translation by Pedro Barbadillo. The original work was published in 1974; this Spanish edition, in 2005.
For teenage readers aged 13 and up, especially those looking for realistic stories about identity, self-esteem, and family.
Maria Gripe, born Maja Stina Walter, was a Swedish author of books for children and young adults, which were often written in magical and mystical tone.
