Inés y la alegría is a novel by Almudena Grandes that tells a love story in the context of the Spanish Civil War. The plot takes place in Toulouse in 1939, where Carmen de Pedro, a leader of the Spanish communists, crosses paths with Jesús Monzón, who has an ambitious plan. Years later, Monzón organizes a resistance group against the German occupation and prepares for the invasion of Spain. Inés, confined to her Falangist brother's house in Lérida, finds hope when she hears about the Reconquista de España operation on the radio.
