Fair

Fair

Our review

A book that surprises with its honesty. All of us who were born in a village, and especially in La Mancha, recognize many of the feelings that the author brilliantly narrates. It is simply a story of the village, a portrait of peasant and working-class society; a demanding and nostalgic book.

Ana Iris Simón's fresh and transparent biography has moved thousands of readers. A story about life at the fair and the families of La Mancha that makes you empathize with her chilling reflection on past and present life. It is a portrait of society, without an ounce of shame and with complete sincerity.

Like so many young people of the 90s, the author packed her bags to go to the capital, leaving a trail of bodies that has become empty Spain.

Book details

Synopsis

Ana Iris Simón is the narrator of this story about her own life. She tells how she experienced the fair from within, her relationships with her family, the traditions of her village in La Mancha, and the radical change of leaving everything behind to live in the capital. A change that first produces shame of one's origins, and then nostalgia.
