Synopsis "Malena es un Nombre de Tango (in Spanish)"

A sus doce años, Malena es una niña desorientada y perpleja, que reza en silencio para volverse niño porque presiente que jamas conseguira parecerse a su hermana melliza, Reina, la mujer perfecta. Pero un regalo de manos de su abuelo le hace sospechar que no es la primera en su familia en encontrar el lugar adecuado en el mundo. A la sombra de una vieja maldicion, Malena aprende a mirarse en la memoria de quienes se creyeron malditos antes que ella y descubre, mientras alcanza la madurez, un reflejo de sus miedos y de su amor en la sucesion de mujeres imperfectas que la precedieron.

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.
