About the Book

Una excepcional novela sobre el amor y el destino, la memoria y los secretos de familia, ambientada en el Madrid de los años treinta.

En los albores de la Segunda República, Lucía Oriol es una joven esposa aristócrata en una sociedad en plena transformación, cuya vida da un vuelco al conocer a Francisco Anglada, viudo empresario de origen judío, que compra una residencia a la familia Oriol en la calle Pintor Rosales. Lo que comienza como una tórrida aventura amorosa, se enreda cuando aparece Jimena, la conflictiva hija de Francisco. La relación entre Jimena y Lucía, la doble vida de ésta y el pasado oculto de los Anglada destaparán un torbellino de celos, venganza y traición de los que nadie saldrá indemne.

El amor de Lucía Oriol por un hombre atrapado en el laberinto del pasado y la necesidad de contar la verdad y de hacer justicia alimentan este retrato de dos linajes, inspirado en hechos reales, en un Madrid convulsionado al borde de la Guerra Civil.

Con la riqueza de una sobresaliente prosista, Mercedes de Vega bucea en nuestra historia más personal para mostrar que en todas las familias se esconden secretos que pueden resultar letales. Cuando estábamos vivos no es solo la historia de una mujer que debe elegir entre la razón y el corazón, también es el fresco de una época y de una ciudad que marcarán los destinos de sus protagonistas.

La opinión de la crítica:
«Un relato extenso e intenso emocionalmente, además de interesante desde el punto de vista sociológico e histórico.»
El ConfidencialENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An exceptional novel about love and destiny, memory, and family secrets, set in 1930s Madrid.
At the dawn of the Second Republic, Lucía Oriol is a young aristocratic wife in a society under transformation, whose life takes a sudden twist when she meets Francisco Anglada, a widower and businessman of Jewish heritage, who buys one of the Oriol family's residences on Pintor Rosales street. What begins as a torrid romantic affair becomes complicated when Jimena, Francisco's difficult daughter arrives. The relationship between Jimena and Lucía, the latter's double life, and the dark past of the Angladas unleashes a whirlwind of jealousy, vengeance, and betrayal the likes of which no one can escape unharmed. Lucía Oriol's love for a man trapped in the labyrinth of the past and the need to tell the truth and see justice done fuel this tale of two lineages, inspired by real events, in a Madrid trembling at the edge of civil war. With the richness of an outstanding prose writer, Mercedes de Vega delves into our most personal history to show that in all families, secrets are hidden that could be lethal. When We Were Alive is not just the story of a woman who must choose between her heart and her head, it is also a fresco of an era and a city that will set the destinies of its protagonists. The critic's opinion: "A tale that is emotionally extensive and intensive, as well as interesting from a sociological and historical point of view." -El Confidencial
