1935 The Second Republic has brought professional opportunities for women across Spain. As the Civil War approaches, however, this is about to change. With unrest brewing, four young women from different backgrounds and social classes forge a close friendship at the famous Casa de Las Carolinas in Santander: Gloria and Laura, nurses who feel powerless to battle so much pain and injustice; Susana, a cook who prefers to stay in the background but must rise to new challenges; and Ana, a law student who turns to journalism to denounce abuses against the working class.
This new and fascinating novel by Concepcin Revuelta transports us to Civil War-era Santander to tell the stories of four women who find the bravery and integrity to stand up for their dreams and, ultimately, their lives. The Women of Las Carolinas is a passionate story of strength, courage, and sacrifice, set during one of the most turbulent periods in Spanish history.
