Barcelona, 1977. En un país que se asoma a un nuevo horizonte de libertad, la vida de Mariana Casanovas se tambalea. Los tejemanejes económicos de su marido Sergio, un joven ejecutivo sin escrúpulos, la abocan a la ruina económica junto a sus cuatro hijos pequeños. Debatiéndose entre el matrimonio y su decepción ante un hombre que carece de palabra y de honor, Mariana emprende la tarea de salvar su familia, aunque para ello tenga que tomar medidas drásticas.
Dieciséis años atrás, el futuro se abría ante ella mostrándole lo que prometía ser un camino de rosas. Una adolescente Mariana daba sus primeros pasos en la vida adulta y en la alta sociedad de la época, muy marcada por las costumbres y tradiciones que seguían señalando los deberes y las obligaciones de las mujeres. En esos años de aprendizaje, la joven se enfrentó a la pasión de Rafael, un rejoneador mucho mayor que ella que cayó rendido a sus encantos, y a la de Enrique, su primer amor, un aspirante a músico que partió a París para cumplir sus sueños de convertirse en un virtuoso del violín.
Pero ese sendero antaño sembrado de ilusiones se ve ahora ensombrecido por un matrimonio fallido y un futuro incierto. ¿Debe Mariana seguir mostrando lealtad a un hombre como su marido y seguirlo en su huida de la justicia? ¿Tiene algún sentido cumplir con lo que le inculcaron sus padres y todo su entorno? ¿Es ya demasiado tarde para aspirar a la felicidad?
Chufo Lloréns, el maestro de la novela histórica, nos retrata la vida de los años sesenta y setenta en España a través del espléndido relato de una mujer inolvidable que, como el país entero, pasa de la resignación a la libertad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Chufo Lloréns takes us through some decisive decades in Spain's recent history to tell us about a woman difficult to forget.
Over 1,250,000 copies of his novels have been sold.
Barcelona, 1977. In a country that is approaching a new stage of freedom, the life of Mariana Casanovas is staggering. The economic failings of her husband, Sergio--an unscrupulous young executive--point to financial ruin for her and their four children. Torn between her marriage and her disappointment at a man who lacks word and honor, Mariana undertakes the task of saving her family, even if she must take drastic measures to do so.
Sixteen years ago, her future was bright, a promised bed of roses. Mariana as a teenager took her first steps into adult life in the high society of the time, marked by the customs and traditions that continued to define women's duties and obligations. In those years of learning, the young woman faced Rafael's passion, a bullfighter much older than her who fell for her charms, and met Enrique, her first love, an aspiring musician who went to Paris to fulfill his dreams of becoming a violin virtuoso.
Chufo Lloréns, a master of the historical novel, portrays life in Spain in the sixties and seventies through the splendid story of an unforgettable woman who, like the entire country, goes from resignation to freedom.

About the Author
Entre sus obras destacan Catalina, la fugitiva de San Benito (2008), La otra lepra (2010) y La saga de los malditos (2011), todas ellas publicadas en Debolsillo. Te daré la tierra (Grijalbo, 2008) y Mar de fuego (Grijalbo, 2011), ambas ambientadas en la Barcelona medieval, fueron grandes éxitos de ventas y le han convertido en uno de los autores más reputados entre los lectores de novela histórica tanto en España como en el extranjero. Los derechos de traducción se han vendido en doce países, sumando más de 1.250.000 ejemplares en todo el mundo.
Tras ese aclamado díptico medieval, Chufo Lloréns retomaría otro periodo histórico, la Barcelona modernista, para su monumental La ley de los justos (Grijalbo, 2015) y ampliaría sus horizontes narrativos con El destino de los héroes (Grijalbo, 2020), donde nos ofreció una intensa visión de las primeras décadas del siglo XX y de los grandes conflictos que se vivieron en Europa y España.
En su última novela, La vida que nos separa, Chufo Lloréns nos sumerge en unas décadas clave en la historia reciente de España, desde el tardofranquismo hasta la eclosión de la democracia, para narrarnos la vida de una mujer difícil de olvidar.
