Just six months after the end of the Spanish Civil War, young Andrea moves to Barcelona to study Literature at university. As soon as she enters
her grandmother's apartment, the filth, tradition, tension, violence, and hatred—a perfect reflection of the society of the time—begin to cloud the excitement she feels about her new life in Barcelona. But when she meets Ena, a girl from the university, she discovers a bright and hopeful world and realizes that the freedom she longs for is closer than she thinks.
With an extraordinary sensitivity for delving into the most intimate recesses of the human soul, Carmen Laforet portrays the experiences of a woman who, faced with a cruel and oppressive reality, does not give up her efforts to be who she wants to be.
Nada , the novel that launched Carmen Laforet's literary career, was the winner of the first Nadal Prize in 1945. A literary classic that made its author one of the most important writers of the 20th century and continues to captivate readers of all generations today.
