«Cartas a Palacio» is the historical novel by Jorge Díaz, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (560 pages, in Spanish).
During World War I, the letter of a French girl moves King Alfonso XIII, who uses Spanish diplomacy to locate her brother missing at the front. Faced with the avalanche of requests he receives, the monarch gathers a group of collaborators and sets up the Pro-Captives Office, a royal initiative through which he tries to respond to families broken by the conflict. The novel interweaves fiction and real events in a choral story that mixes love and war, with characters from different social backgrounds united by a humanitarian mission.
It belongs to the Best Seller collection from DEBOLSILLO. The author, Jorge Díaz, is also known for winning the Planeta Prize 2021 as part of the Carmen Mola collective, although this work is earlier and signed with his own name.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and war fiction looking for a choral story based on a real episode of the reign of Alfonso XIII.
