Carmina Massot's Private Life

Carmina is eighty-seven years old, she has always been single and very independent. Despite her age, she continues to live alone, although her fragile memory makes it increasingly difficult for her. She loves her nieces, but she doesn't want to hear about going to live with them, or to go to a nursing home or anything other than smoking more than necessary, drinking her shots of Pedro Ximénez while talking to her kissing fish and doing her holy will.
Aware of the time left she has, she wants to leave all her affairs, materials and others, well ordered and to finally tell the story of her first and great love that pushed her to cross Spain, embark on the recovery of a very valuable painting looted in the Second World War and establishing a relationship with the Nazi Léon Degrelle. A story that her beloved nieces would never have imagined and that will reveal the true private life of Carmina Massot.

"Through a disturbing plot that ties present and past, real and fictional characters, sensational book adventure and little things from everyday life, Lienas tells us an episode of the struggle of women's bodies to conquer their freedom and autonomy. After reading this novel, we feel much more curious and admiration for those old and harmless single aunts, who keep unthinkable secrets in the drawers.", Marta Sanz
