About the Book

Tres generaciones de mujeres luchan por salir adelante en un pequeño pueblo de Segovia de la España profunda, y más tarde, en la Zaragoza gris de la época. Un convulso siglo XX donde trágicos acontecimientos como la gripe española, la posguerra, el machismo y sobre todo el hambre se abrirán paso, hará que los tiempos sean extremadamente difíciles para todas ellas. Sin embargo, cada una a su manera, pero todas a través de los sentimientos y con la fuerza que les dará la familia, la amistad y el amor, podrán seguir viviendo a pesar de todo lo que les rodea.
Basada en hechos reales que relatan las adversidades y miserias vividas por la familia de quien la escribe; son todas aquellas personas que nos preceden y que subsistieron en una sociedad patriarcal, de implantado silencio y de obligada resignación femenina, y tuvieron que afrontar un tiempo de extrema pobreza y necesidad. Fue la propia voz de la abuela de la autora quien le legó muchos de los hechos descritos; su testimonio oral fue guiando el camino de esta novela costumbrista que marca nuestra herencia cultural.
Esta novela fue su ópera prima (publicada por primera vez en 2013, y reeditada en 2022), en ella, la autora ha querido conservar su primigenia esencia, toda su originalidad. Con un lenguaje y una prosa sencillos, y una narrativa profunda y sentimental, en esta obra se pueden ya entrever las pinceladas que irían conduciendo a la autora a su evolución posterior en su particular estilo actual: literario.
Plasma la realidad histórica de aquel momento, adentrándose en las clases sociales más humildes; asimismo, se sumerge en un pasado memorable y extinto que se irá grabando en el corazón a través de la dura vida que soportan los personajes de esta historia, donde será todo aquello que les remueve por dentro lo que irá sobresaliendo. En este contexto, las mujeres sacan toda su voluntad para continuar adelante, pese a la crudeza y los contratiempos a los que tienen que hacer frente.

BIOGRAFÍA DE LA AUTORA

Raquel Victoria (Zaragoza, 1978) es novelista y poeta. Comenzó su andadura literaria a través de los relatos que su abuela le contaba, lo que le inspiró la creación de su primera novela Las raíces de la encina (Certeza, 2013; reedición, 2022), en la que da voz y dota de sensibilidad a las mujeres de su familia en un siglo XX español de hambre, opresión y silencio. Tras su ópera prima, vio la luz su novela La posada del pozo (2018), cuyo estremecedor escenario se sitúa entre los años veinte y la guerra civil española, y rescata del olvido a aquellas mujeres valientes que lucharon por sus derechos y libertades. De bordados a sedas (2023) es su última y más subjetiva novela, donde, con un lenguaje muy lírico, aborda el universo femenino desde las altas clases sociales en la España del siglo XIX.
La escritora aragonesa ha intervenido como ponente en actos culturales y literarios, tratando temas sobre la desigualdad de género, comprometida con el empoderamiento y visibilidad real de las mujeres; así como ha participado en certámenes literarios locales como jurado.
Autodidacta, versátil y polifacética, escribe, asimismo, narrativa breve, crítica literaria y artículos de toda índole (mayormente especializados en temática femenina, histórica o medio ambiente), que actualmente publica en las redes sociales.
Habiéndose formado en los últimos años en materias de género o históricas en distintos centros educativos, además de haber dejado atrás su labor como Técnica Sanitaria Especialista en Laboratorio, hoy la escritora se dedica a aquello que más le apasiona: crear sus obras con perspectiva de género y enfocando los trágicos acontecimientos de otro tiempo, y lo hace ahondando en los sentimientos por medio de su prosa poética y de sus versos.
Su poemario Tejiendo lumbres en el alma (2024) es su último trabajo; ahora, se encuentra
