Flores en la basura

One of the young women who emigrated in the toughest years of the last economic crisis returns to Spain and analyzes with new eyes what she had left behind. Violeta Serrano is a woman who belongs to that generation born in the late eighties, which seemed to have it all: consolidated democracy, a guaranteed welfare state and a European mattress that seemed eternal. But something broke, the certainties flew through the air and from that rubble these frustrations were born. This work is, in short, a journey into the bowels of a generation that many talk about but few understand. An exercise in intellectual honesty where the author looks in the mirror not to flatter herself, but to get into the mud of her time and ask herself uncomfortable questions that few dare to answer. She speaks to her peers, to millions of people around the world who are around thirty years old, hyper-educated and who do not want to resign themselves to perpetual precariousness. But she also looks back and recovers the value of our parents and grandparents as antidotes to despair.
