«Las tres bodas de Manolita» is the historical novel by Almudena Grandes, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in hardcover (768 pages, in Spanish).
In the Madrid of the immediate postwar period, Manolita, an eighteen-year-old girl, takes charge of her siblings while her father and stepmother are imprisoned. Her brother Antonio, in hiding, plans to print clandestine propaganda with some duplicating machines, and Manolita must contact a prisoner who knows how to get them running. That shy man will mark her life and lead her to the penitentiary detachment of the Valley of the Fallen, while she tries to uncover the informer lurking in the neighborhood.
Third installment of the series «Episodios de una guerra interminable», which also includes the collection «Andanzas».
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and contemporary Spanish narrative interested in the anti-Franco resistance.
