«Los besos en el pan» is the ensemble novel by Almudena Grandes, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
The work portrays how residents of an ordinary neighborhood resist the crisis: a family returning from vacation determined not to change their routine, a recently divorced man, a grandmother who puts up the Christmas tree early, or a woman who goes back to the countryside. Between the hair salon, the bar and the health center, the ensemble novel shows moments of unexpected solidarity, indignation, anger and tenderness, and explains why grandparents taught children to kiss bread.
It belongs to the MAXI collection from Tusquets Editores. Spanish-language edition of 336 pages, published on April 27, 2017.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in a humane and collective look at the crisis and everyday life in a neighborhood.
