This neighborhood of Madrid is like many others. On wide and narrow streets, in apartments large and small, live men and women whose destinies are intertwined in the maelstrom of the economic crisis. It threatens to destroy their familiar way of life, but Spaniards have never been resigned to fate. The neighborhood's residents cling to long-held traditions and principles: sharing what they have, preserving humanity, and not allowing the system to make them victims.

Almudena Grandes's polyphonic novel is a tribute to the resilience of those whose hardships remain outside the official chronicles. The characters experience moments of confusion and solidarity, rage and tenderness. In difficult circumstances, they unite and demonstrate fortitude—like their grandparents, who kissed bread in remembrance of the tragic past and gratitude for each day they lived.
