We read... «Candela» by Juan del Val

Candela is a woman in her early forties with a normal life, accustomed to solitude, extremely observant and with an acid sense of humor. Her days go by without major shocks while she works as a waitress in the bar she runs with her grandmother and her one-eyed mother. Juan del Val builds, with stark truthfulness and a sometimes hilarious sense of humor, the portrait of a unique woman.
