«Las tres bodas de Manolita» is the historical novel by Almudena Grandes, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (768 pages, in Spanish).
In Madrid in the immediate postwar period, Manolita, an eighteen-year-old girl, supports her family while her father and stepmother are imprisoned and her brother Antonio lives in hiding. Antonio involves her in a plan to reactivate the resistance using mimeograph machines that print clandestine propaganda, which forces Manolita to visit a prisoner who knows how they work. Between the prison and the penitentiary detachment of the Valley of the Fallen, the girl becomes caught up in a network of popular solidarity and must uncover the informer lurking in the neighbourhood.
Third instalment of the series «Episodios de una guerra interminable», in the Andanzas collection, with the subtitle «El cura de Porlier, el Patronato de Redención de Penas y el nacimiento de la resistencia clandestina contra el franquismo, Madrid, 1940-1950».
Coral novel of historical fiction about the anti-Franco resistance, suitable for readers interested in contemporary Spanish narrative and in postwar Madrid.
