La caja azul / The Blue Box (Spanish Edition)
Description:
La historia de una familia que guardó un secreto en una caja azul.
«No sé cómo comenzar a contaros esta historia, la de la caja azul. Mi madre tenía una vida secreta que solo la conocían mi abuela y tía Teresa, nadie más en la familia.
Durante años buscaron a mi abuelo Antonio, padre, marido y hermano, soldado del ejército Republicano desaparecido en combate en la Batalla del Ebro. Tan secreta fue esta búsqueda que solo un par de días antes de morir mi madre se atrevió a compartirlo conmigo, a hablar de mi abuelo y de la caja azul.
Ahí estaba yo, a los pies de su cama, recibiendo una caja de cartón azul. Le prometí que no la abriría hasta pasadas unas semanas, después de su muerte.
Dos días después me dejó huérfano. Pasó mucho tiempo hasta que me armé de valor para quitar la tapa. En su interior, cartas, recortes de periódicos, documentos de campos de prisioneros, fotografías, notas de la Cruz Roja... El trabajo de tres mujeres solas durante la posguerra buscando al hombre que querían... Ahí nació esta novela». -José Antonio Ponseti
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The story of a family that kept a secret in a blue box.
"I don't know how to start telling this story, the story of the blue box. My mother had a secret life, known only to my grandmother and aunt Teresa; no one else in the family knew.
For years they looked for my grandfather Antonio--father, husband, and brother--a soldier in the Republican army, missing in action at the Battle of Ebro. The search was so secret, that only a couple of days before she died, my mother dared share it with me, to speak of my grandfather and the blue box. I promised I wouldn't open it until a few weeks after her death.
Two days later, I was an orphan. It was a long time before I worked up the courage to remove the lid. Inside, letters, newspaper clippings, prisoner camps documents, photographs, Red Cross notes... The work of three women alone during postwar years, looking for a man they loved... Right there, this novel was born." --José Antonio Ponseti
