About the Book



"It's love at first sight when Lisa meets Manuel at a Beatles concert in Madrid. But Lisa lives in Gibraltar and Manuel in Mâalaga, and their families disapprove of the romance. As if that weren't enough, they live in turbulent times, in a Spain torn between, on the one hand, a dictatorship which the Spanish claim to Gibraltar serves as common ground for with the regime's opponents, and the forces of modernity on the other. When Franco closes the Spanish border with Gibraltar in 1969, the lovers are separated, leaving their infant daughter on the Spanish side with Manuel. In their quest to be reunited, they find an unexpected ally: Audrey Hepburn, who Lisa meets in Marbella and is perhaps the only person with the power to help them."--



Book Synopsis



La emotiva historia de amor de dos jóvenes separados por el cierre de la Verja de Gibraltar. Un romance por encima de la incomprensión familiar y la intransigencia política ambientado en la glamourosa Costa del Sol de Audrey Hepburn.

Lisa, gibraltareña, y Manuel, malagueño, se enamoran en el concierto que celebraron los Beatles en Madrid. Desde ese día, viven encontrándose y separándose, incomprendidos por sus familias e inmersos en una época turbulenta: por un lado, una dictadura que ha encontrado en el lema «Gibraltar español» un denominador común que comparten tanto quienes se oponen al régimen como quienes lo defienden; por otro, una España que poco a poco se incorpora a la modernidad. Pero cuando el cierre de la Verja en 1969 separa a los amantes, en suelo español se queda también la hija que han tenido ambos, un bebé de pocos meses. Audrey Hepburn, a quien Lisa ha conocido en Marbella, se convierte en una cómplice inesperada de la pareja y quizá la única que pueda ayudarlos.

Después del éxito de Mariela, Yolanda Guerrero vuelve a desplegar su excepcional talento como narradora para contarnos con un relato conmovedor cómo el amor es la última arma contra el dolor y la injusticia. Un inolvidable Romeo y Julieta moderno ambientado en un momento histórico que transformó el país para siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The doomed romance between two young people separated by the closure of Spain's border with Gibraltar. A love that transcends family pressure and political forces, set on the glamorous Costa del Sol.

It's love at first sight when Lisa meets Manuel at a Beatles concert in Madrid. But Lisa lives in Gibraltar and Manuel in Málaga, and their families disapprove of the romance. As if that weren't enough, they live in turbulent times, in a Spain torn between, on the one hand, a dictatorship for which the Spanish claim to Gibraltar serves as common ground with the regime's opponents, and the forces of modernity on the other. When Franco closes the Spanish border with Gibraltar in 1969, the lovers are separated, leaving their infant daughter on the Spanish side with Manuel. In their quest to be reunited, they find an unexpected ally: Audrey Hepburn, who Lisa meets in Marbella and is perhaps the only person with the power to help them.

Following the success of Mariela, Yolanda Guerrero again displays her prodigious narrative talents in this modern Romeo and Juliet story, set during a pivotal moment in Spanish history and revealing love to be the ultimate weapon against pain and injustice.
