"Toulouse, Summer 1939. Carmen de Pedro, responsible for the decimated French Spanish Communists, crosses with Jesús Monzón, a lesser member of the party without her intuition, returning home with an ambitious plan. A few years later, in 1944, Monzón, has become her partner and organized the most disciplined group of the Resistance against the German occupation. The resistance group prepares the Spanish National Union and has an army of men ready to invade Spain. Among them is Galán, who has fought in the Association of Spanish guerrillas and believes, like many others in the fall of 1944, after the Allied landings and the withdrawal of the Germans, it is possible to establish a Republican government in Vielha. Not far from there, Inés is reclusive and guarded by her brother, provincial delegate of Falange in Lleida. Inés has suffered all the calamities from supporting the Republican cause during the war alone in Madrid, but now, when she hears the announcement of the secret operation on Radio Reconquest of the Spanish Pyrenees, Inés finding courage and a secret joy, decides to leave behind the worst years of her life."--Cataloger translation of book back cover.… (more)

Inés y la alegría

Novela Histórico
Serie: Episodios de una Guerra Interminable #1 /siQjdji6C_G4

Toulouse, verano de 1939. Carmen de Pedro, responsable en Francia de los diezmados comunistas españoles, se cruza con Jesús Monzón, un cargo menor del partido que, sin ella intuirlo, alberga un ambicioso plan. Unos años después, en 1944, Monzón, convertido en su pareja, ha organizado el grupo más disciplinado de la Resistencia contra la ocupación alemana, prepara la plataforma de la Unión Nacional Española y cuenta con un ejército de hombres dispuestos a invadir España. Entre ellos está Galán, que ha combatido en la Agrupación de Guerrilleros Españoles y que cree, como muchos otros en el otoño de 1944, que tras el desembarco aliado y la retirada de los alemanes, es posible establecer un gobierno republicano en Viella. No muy lejos de allí, Inés vive recluida y vigilada en casa de su hermano, delegado provincial de Falange en Lérida. Ha sufrido todas las calamidades desde que, sola en Madrid, apoyó la causa republicana durante la guerra, pero ahora, cuando oye a escondidas el anuncio de la operación Reconquista de España en Radio Pirenaica, Inés se arma de valor, y de secreta alegría, para dejar atrás los peores años de su vida.

Stopped reading after 200 pages; The naivety of the main characters gets very annoying. ( )

A Azucena Rodríguez, que también escribió esta novela para mí, mienras yo escribía para ella el guión de una película que no se hizo, pero que nos hizo amigas para siempre. Las dos somos Inés, porque esta es nuestra historia.
Y a la memoria de Toni López Lamadrid, a quien tanto quise, y con quien siempre estaré en deuda por tantas cosas, la última, su pasión por este libro.
