Used book – L'Aurore, Nicole Anglés

In 1934, sixteen-year-old Alba, a young Catalan woman, leaves her family home and a shrewish mother.

She enters the service of Doña Lucia, a wealthy bourgeoise who resides in a magnificent private mansion in the heart of Barcelona.

Over the following years, Spain would experience major political upheavals, precursors to dark years for Europe and the world.

Alba, driven by deep convictions and the passion of her youth, would live through all these events intensely.

Thus begins the adventure of her life...

Nicole Anglés, with lively and effective writing, focuses the story of this novel on the involvement of women fighters during the Spanish Civil War.

Their decisive role in the social revolution organized by the libertarian movement in response to the military coup that initiated the conflict.

And their commitment alongside the Republican army to prevent the inevitable: the Francoist dictatorship's seizure of power in 1939.
