«Las mil noches de Hortensia Romero» is the novel by Fernando Quiñones published by Editorial Planeta in 1979, in paperback (281 pages, in Spanish).
The novel gives voice to Hortensia Romero, «Legionaria», who unashamedly recounts her life as a prostitute in Seville and in the La Plata brothel in Cádiz. Her clients range from virgin boys to unscrupulous old men; contact with human misery sharpens her skepticism and her tolerance towards social values.
It was a finalist for the 1979 Premio Planeta and belongs to Planeta's Colección Autores Españoles e Hispanoamericanos.
For adult readers of Spanish fiction who want an unflinching female character and a portrait of Spain in 1979.
