The time of brave women.
In her literary debut, Caterina Karmany tells the story of three generations of brave women who, thanks to friendship and their drive, overcome adversity. A captivating novel that with tragicomic situations deals with heartbreaking issues with a fresh, direct and effective style.
When Margot, an advertising photographer, returns to her hometown in the interior of Mallorca, her past explodes in her face. After the death of her parents, she lived there with her grandmother Joanaina. The house in which she now lives still preserves the smells of her recipes and, in a corner of the garden, the two pomegranate trees.
Little by little, her neighbor Francina will let Margot know about the past of that strong, uneducated woman who worked as a cook in rich houses and will reveal to her some forgotten events that took place during the post-war period on the island. And, as Margot reconciles with the town where she grew up and recovers her three lifelong friends, the Maixes, who like her also live trapped by certain personal and work circumstances, her life takes a radical turn. As her grandmother, it is time for her to trust in her talent and fight for her dreams.
A women's novel with a good story, real characters, and the most attractive setting: post-war and current rural Mallorca.
