The Sonata of Silence
A moving story of love, friendship, and betrayal. Marta Ribas had a promising future when she met Antonio, but a misguided loyalty will disrupt their lives. When Antonio falls ill, Marta is forced to go to work, exposing herself to neighborhood gossip and the indignation of her husband, whose masculinity is humiliated. But an unexpected opportunity arises for Marta, allowing her to ensure her own survival and that of her daughter, and finally find her place in the world. The Sonata of Silence is a novel of passion, jealousy, and longed-for dreams. It is the story of post-war Spain, of chestnut sellers and coal merchants, of cocktails in Chicote and black market nylon stockings. It is an ordinary building where wealth and poverty, triumph and failure are separated only by a thin wall. |
