Tan terrible es el odio

This book is a return to a painful story of the Civil War, told in a low voice by the victims. A story where the job of living becomes the greatest of feats. Joaquín González Cumbreño, a Liberal elected deputy to the Cortes by the CEDA in the February 1936 elections, is kidnapped in August of that year by a group of militiamen in his own home in front of his family and Ángeles, the assistant and faithful friend of the. Knowing what would happen, he had prepared an operative that can only be activated by the latter, in order to find him and bring him to safety. But when Ángeles returns from touring a fierce and ruthless Madrid in search of the necessary help, she finds that his wife and daughters have also been arrested... something that no one had anticipated. Can he help them all? We will know, thus, the miseries and defeats of all of them. The horrors, the fears, the dramas, the disappeared, the murdered. Persecutions, revenge, envy... but also fidelity and love, much love. We will know firsthand about the events that they lived through on those dates of shrapnel and hatred, but also about their capacity for loyalty and commitment. Everything that is narrated in this book is true, although nothing that is told is true. A few pages against sectarianism, against hate speech, against proclamations that divide... A story, in short, in which we all fit.
