«Las maravillas» is Elena Medel's first novel, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (228 pages, in Spanish).
María leaves a southern city to work in Madrid in the late sixties; Alicia is born thirty years later and follows a similar path for different reasons. The novel explores the weight of money and family, class precarity, care work, and the voices that narrate our past, from the end of the dictatorship to the feminist outburst.
Published in the Narrativas hispánicas collection (no. 653), it won the Francisco Umbral Prize for Book of the Year 2020.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in social class, work, and memory.
