History, romance, adventure, and memory in the times of the Spanish Republic
On a Sunday in October 1937, Dolores meets Isabel during a shift at the hospital. Valencia was about to mark almost a year since it had become the capital of the Spanish Republic, and its streets showed hunger and the constant fear of bombings. In that brief moment, as simple as the flutter of a small dragonfly, their destiny will change, inevitably.
Hand in hand with Isabel and Dolores, we will become part of Mujeres Libres, a bold and assertive organization; we will dive into the Paris of the 1940s, in the full bloom of jazz, existentialism, intellectual life, and sexual freedom. We will hold our breath as the occupation of France by the Nazis takes place, or we will be moved as witnesses to the human capacities to love or to survive, regardless of the circumstance.
No basta una vida, the latest novel by Mila Martínez, is romance, adventure, memory, and a complete declaration of intent. The passion, loyalty, courage, and hope flowing through its pages will awaken the purest feelings and the most genuine magic.
