«Cándida» is the contemporary fiction and humor novel by Guillermo Fesser, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (300 pages, in Spanish).
Cándida is a cleaning lady from the Madrid neighborhood of San Blas who has worked cleaning houses since childhood and faces life with humor and kindness. With a philosophy comparable to Mary Poppins, though traveling by metro, she navigates her daily problems and dreams of retiring to a little house in the countryside with three hens. A bittersweet story about an indomitable woman.
The novel was adapted into film as «Cuando Dios aprieta, ahoga pero bien», directed by Fesser himself in 2006.
Recommended for readers seeking contemporary fiction with humor and social critique, featuring a popular and endearing character.
