«¿Qué fue de Delia Grinstead?» is the novel by Anne Tyler, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (431 pages, in Spanish).
Delia Grinstead, a forty-year-old woman, feels invisible to her family: her husband, a routine-minded doctor, and her grown children take her for granted. During a vacation, she decides to leave for another town without telling anyone and start an independent life. The novel thus reflects on identity, family, and freedom in middle age.
The original novel, «Ladder of Years», was published in 1995; this Spanish edition belongs to the Ave Fénix collection, Serie Mayor. It was a finalist for the Orange Prize in 1996.
For readers of contemporary fiction and literary fiction interested in family stories, female characters, and processes of personal reinvention.
