«A corazón abierto» is the autobiographical novel by Elvira Lindo, published by Seix Barral in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
The narrator starts from an episode that took place in Madrid in 1939 to tell the passionate and stormy relationship of her parents, marked by his excessive personality, her weak heart and illness. The novel traverses Spain over a century of changes and pays tribute to the generation that remained in the immediate postwar period focused on surviving. Elvira Lindo turns her parents into literary characters with an empathetic gaze, mixing memory and invention to explore the lights and shadows of a family past.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection from Seix Barral. It won the Madrid Booksellers Prize 2020 in the Fiction category.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and autobiographical novels seeking an intense family story with a historical backdrop.
