Synopsis "Crónica del Desamor (in Spanish)"

La primera obra de Rosa Montero. El retrato de una generación española. Rosa Montero retrata con audacia la historia de Ana, quien deberá cumplir con las exigencias de su trabajo como redactora en una revista, cuidar de su hijo y navegar por la noctámbula vida del convulso Madrid de finales de los setenta. Crónica del desamor es la primera novela de la autora y una obra clave para entender las inquietudes de una generación que se sentía a la vez poderosa y desorientada, y que aún no sabía jugar a manejar su libertad sin herirse. «Una novela estrechamente pegada a una realidad generacional. Un retrato en directo de aquellos años ardientes de la Transición. Tengo la rara sensación de que esta novela la hemos escrito de algún modo entre todos [...],Crónica del desamor nos muestra una instantánea de lo que fuimos.»Rosa MonteroENGLISH DESCRIPTIONRosa Montero boldly portrays the story of Ana, a woman who must fulfill the demands of a job as a magazine editor, take care of her son and navigate the nocturnal life of a convulsed Madrid at the end of the 1970s.Crónica del desamor / Absent Love: A Chronicleis the author’s first novel; it is also a work that is key to understanding the concerns of a generation that felt powerful and disoriented at the same time, a generation that had not yet learned how to manage their freedom without hurting one another.

Rosa Montero (Madrid, January 3, 1951) is a Spanish writer and journalist known for her deep exploration of human psychology, memory, and the passage of time, captured in a sensitive and approachable narrative. She studied Psychology and Journalism at the Complutense University of Madrid and began her literary career with the novel Crónica del desamor in 1979. Since then, she has established her voice in contemporary literature with works that combine fiction, social analysis, and personal reflection. Among her most notable titles are La hija del caníbal (Primavera Novel Award 1997), La loca de la casa (Qué Leer Award 2003 and Grinzane Cavour in Italy 2004), Historia del Rey Transparente (Qué Leer Award 2006), La ridícula idea de no volver a verte and La buena suerte, as well as El peligro de estar cuerda.

Montero has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including the National Journalism Award (1980), the National Award of Spanish Letters (2017) for her literary career, and international distinctions such as the Officière des Arts et des Lettres decoration awarded by the French Republic in 2024. Her work has been translated into more than twenty languages and adapted to film, theater, and opera. In addition to her literary work, she has worked as a journalist for El País since 1977, where she was editor-in-chief of its Sunday supplement.
