Summary

UNA JOVEN MAESTRA QUE DESAFIÓ LAS NORMAS DE SU TIEMPO PARA PERSEGUIR SUS SUEÑOS.

UN GRAN AMOR SEPARADO POR EL EXILIO.

LOS CONVULSOS AÑOS DE LA POSGUERRA EN UN PUEBLO DE LOS PICOS DE EUROPA.

Tras varios años viviendo en París, Julieta regresa a Santander, la ciudad en la que pasó su infancia al cuidado de su querida tía Inés. Al llegar, se encuentra con que su tía ha sufrido un colapso de salud. Desde la cama del hospital esta le narra a su sobrina la insólita y secreta historia de su vida, plagada de viejos pecados con largas sombras.

La joven Inés, que sueña con ser maestra, vive con sus hermanos y su brutal y violento padre, pero un trágico giro del destino la empujará a abandonar a su familia y comenzar una nueva vida. Primero en Santander, donde tendrá que hacerse cargo de una pensión, y más tarde como maestra en una pequeña escuela en los Picos de Europa, Inés vivirá una apasionante aventura que hará que ponga en valor la amistad y el amor; y experimentará la amargura del odio y la traición.

Días grises con cielo azul es la épica historia de una mujer fuerte que nunca quiso dejarse vencer por nada ni por nadie.

«Con esta novela he querido significar de nuevo a las mujeres y a mis raíces, mostrar la fuerza femenina y la inmensidad de una tierra infinita y bella. Relatar pequeñas historias que seguramente pasaron en algún momento y, si no sucedieron así, es probable que se asemejen con lo vivido por alguna persona. He trabajado en una extensa labor de investigación para poder mostrar los detalles, las costumbres y los lugares de Liébana, en los Picos de Europa, donde la vida pasa lentamente y la realidad es más auténtica, donde las amistades se hacen eternas y donde ser vecino es algo más que eso. Y también la entereza de sus mujeres, personificadas en esta novela en Inés, una maestra en tiempos de posguerra que no lo tuvo fácil, pero que supo hacer frente a los problemas.» —CONCEPCIÓN REVUELTA

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A YOUNG TEACHER WHO CHALLENGED THE NORMS OF HER TIME TO PURSUE HER DREAMS.

A GREAT LOVE SEPARATED BY EXILE.

THE TURBULENT POST-WAR YEARS IN A SMALL TOWN IN THE PEAKS OF EUROPE.
 
After several years living in Paris, Julieta returns to Santander, the city where she spent her childhood under the care of her beloved aunt Inés. Upon her arrival, she finds that her aunt has suffered a health crisis. From her hospital bed, her aunt tells Julieta all about the unusual and secret story of her life, plagued by old sins with long dark patches.
 
Young Inés, who dreamt of being a teacher, lived with her brothers and her ruthless and violent father, but a tragic twist of fate pushed her to abandon her family and start a new life. First in Santander, where she had to take care of a hostel, and later as a teacher in a small school in the Peaks of Europe, Inés lived an exciting adventure that made her value friendship and love, while she also experienced the bitterness of hatred and betrayal.
 
Gray Days with Blue Skies is the classic story of a strong woman who never let herself be defeated by anything or by anyone.
 
«With this novel I have wanted to give meaning to women and to my roots again, to show female strength and the vastness of an infinite and beautiful land. Telling stories that surely happened to someone at some point and, if they did not happen in the same way, it is likely that they are similar to what someone has experienced". —CONCEPCIÓN REVUELTA
