Synopsis "La Madre de Frankenstein (in Spanish)"

En 1954, el joven psiquiatra Germán Velázquez vuelve a España para trabajar en el manicomio de mujeres de Ciempozuelos, al sur de Madrid. Tras salir al exilio en 1939, ha vivido quince años en Suiza, acogido por la familia del doctor Goldstein. En Ciempozuelos, Germán se reencuentra con Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira, una parricida paranoica, inteligentísima, que le fascinó a los trece años, y conoce a una auxiliar de enfermería, María Castejón, a la que doña Aurora enseñó a leer y a escribir cuando era una niña. Germán, atraído por María, no entiende el rechazo de ésta, y sospecha que su vida esconde muchos secretos. El lector descubrirá su origen modesto como nieta del jardinero del manicomio, sus años de criada en Madrid, su desdichada historia de amor, a la par que los motivos por los que Germán ha regresado a España. Almas gemelas que quieren huir de sus respectivos pasados, Germán y María quieren darse una oportunidad, pero viven en un país humillado, donde los pecados se convierten en delitos, y el puritanismo, la moral oficial, encubre todo tipo de abusos y atropellos.

Almudena Grandes (Madrid, 1960 - 2021) was one of the most prominent writers of contemporary Spanish literature. Her work, marked by passionate and committed prose, left an indelible legacy that connects with thousands of readers through deeply human stories.

She debuted with Las edades de Lulú (1989), a novel that not only won the prestigious La Sonrisa Vertical Award, but also became an international bestseller. Throughout her career, Almudena consolidated her place in the literary scene with unforgettable titles such as Malena es un nombre de tango, Los aires difíciles, and El corazón helado.

Her monumental narrative project Episodios de una guerra interminable, composed of six novels, is a reference work for understanding the Spanish postwar period, narrating stories of resistance and historical memory with a unique emotional depth. Works like Inés y la alegría and El lector de Julio Verne are testimony to her commitment to truth and justice.

Acclaimed by critics and beloved by the public, Almudena Grandes received numerous awards, such as the National Narrative Prize (2018) for Los pacientes del doctor García. Her unmistakable style, characterized by the richness of her characters and the intensity of her plots, makes her an essential figure in Hispanic letters.

Muy buena historia, engancha rápido, pero el desenlace a mi gusto quedó al debe.
