«Helada en mayo» is the historical novel by Antonia White, published by Impedimenta in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Daughter of a recent Catholic convert, Nanda Gray enters the Convent of the Five Wounds on the outskirts of London at the beginning of the twentieth century. There she discovers an education based on obedience and conformity. Her outgoing character and intense friendships clash with that rigidity, in a story about the loss of innocence.
First novel in the «Frost in May» series, originally published in 1933. This Spanish edition features a translation by Carmen Torres García and Laura Naranjo.
A work suitable for readers of historical fiction and coming-of-age novels set in a religious boarding school.
Antonia White was a British writer and translator, known primarily for Frost in May, a semi-autobiographical novel set in a convent school. It was the first book reissued by Virago Press in 1978, as part of their Modern Classics series of books by previously neglected women authors.
