«Hijas de María» is the novel of manners by Fernando Vizcaíno Casas, published by Planeta in paperback (233 pages, in Spanish).
It evokes with humor and tenderness the Spain of the 1940s and 1950s through middle-class teenage girls educated in religious schools: their school and family life, their friendships and first formal boyfriends. The schoolgirls Pilar, Isabel, Fernandita, Nuria, Margarita and Piedad reflect the upbringing and character of an entire Spanish youth of the era.
It belongs to Planeta's Fábula Collection, number 130, and was originally published in Barcelona in 1983.
For readers of Spanish fiction interested in costumbrismo and period portraits with humor and tenderness.
Fernando Vizcaíno Casas (1926–2003) was a Spanish labour lawyer, journalist and writer. His writings were generally supportive of Francoist Spain. During the 1970s and 1980s he collaborated with the director Rafael Gil on a number of films that supported this point of view. He wrote ...Y al tercer año, resucitó, Niñas… ¡al salón!, De "camisa vieja" a chaqueta nueva, 1975/El año en que Franco murió en la cama, and Viva Franco, con perdón, between others.
