Dinero caído del cielo

Alodia, an elderly woman somewhat grumpy, starts to receive her granddaughter Marta's visits with suspicion. Surely, after her recent fall, her parents send Marta to 'keep an eye' on her grandmother. But thanks to the young woman's curiosity, Alodia begins to review her life, something she had always refused to do, and to unravel, sometimes to herself, other times to Marta, the family history and the origin of their fortune.

A story that begins in the midst of the Spanish Civil War in the Aragonese Pyrenees, in the small town of Peraltilla, and takes us to the towns of Aínsa, Boltaña, Fiscal, Yésero, Acumuer, or Estadilla, until we reach post-war Barcelona, a land of opportunities for black marketeers and supporters of the regime. There Alodia will meet Mariano, and together they will forge a prosperous life full of light & shadow.

Walking among real events —the mysterious crash of the LeO 451 plane and the journey of Peraltilla mothers in search of meeting their sons on the front— and authentic as well as fictional characters, this novel by Reyes Salvador brings together emotion, tenderness, sensitivity, memories, and passions to reclaim a generation about which everything has not yet been written.
