Product Information

Juana kws how to deal with harsh reality. She has other choice. Growing up in the post-war Spain of the 1950s means a life of poverty, hunger, and gruelling work. Juana leaves the home she has kwn all her life and heads to Barcelona to look for employment. For a time she finds a wage and a bed in the house of the devious Madame Monterde, but after discovering Monterde's shameful secret Juana is thrown out onto the street. Companionship and some hope comes in the unlikely form of Liberto, a home-bound watchmaker many years Juana's senior. However, as a persecuted anarchist trapped into shady dealings with Madame Monterde, Liberto has his own problems - As her story unfolds Juana shows us that, when love is t eugh, and thing in life is sure, she can rely on one person, and one person alone, to provide the strength she needs to survive. Herself.
