Book Synopsis
Esta novela es una de las más conmovedoras historias de amor que jamás se han escrito. El relato de una pasión imposible y secreta que permanecerá para siempre en el alma de los lectores.Nieves Herrero desvela por primera vez la verdadera vida de Pilar de Valderrama, la musa de Antonio Machado, una mujer que, en el ocaso de sus días, tuvo la valentía de confesar al mundo que ella fue la Guiomar de la que hablaban algunos de los versos más hermosos del poeta. Miembro de la alta sociedad madrileña, casada y con tres hijos, arriesgó todo por el amor del único hombre que supo comprenderla. A través del testimonio y la documentación inédita facilitada por la nieta de Guiomar, la autora reconstruye esta historia fascinante al tiempo que nos conduce a través de unos años clave de nuestra historia reciente, que culminan con la muerte de Machado en Colliure en 1939. En su bolsillo hallaron un último verso: «Esos días azules y ese sol de la infancia». ¿Murió pensando en Pilar, la mujer real, siempre vestida de azul, oculta tras la Guiomar de los poemas? La respuesta está en estas páginas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
This novel is one of the most moving love stories ever written. The tale of an impossible, secret passion that will live on forever in readers' souls. Nieves Herrero reveals for the first time the true life of Pilar de Valderrama, Antonio Machado's muse: a woman who, at the end of her days, was brave enough to confess to the world that she was the Guiomar about whom some of the poet's most beautiful verses were written. A member of Madrid's high society and a married mother of three, she risked everything for the love of the only man who knew how to understand her. Through the testimony and previously unreleased documentation provided by Guiomar's granddaughter, the author reconstructs this fascinating story while guiding us through some key years in recent history, ending with Machado's death in Colliure in 1939. In his pocket, they found one last verse: "These blue days and this sun of childhood." Did he die thinking of Pilar, the real woman, always dressed in blue, hidden behind the Guiomar of his poems? The answer lies in these pages.
