For a time, perhaps because of the proximity, giving the impression that the dictatorship of Franco and the English Transition were not fertile ground for fiction. I'm not talking strictly of the Civil War, but basically what happened afterwards. Lately, however, television has offered us some success stories tend to have in one way or another what were those years. Nothing else to remember or even Tell Amar in troubled times. The novel So Jesus were Caudevilla (1953) has something of both. Firstly, because the time lag is that of the last years of the dictatorship, while also the thread in the series mentioned. Also, the fundamental argument of the story refers to a teenage love that develops during this period, for a year, although the story has ramifications beyond.

So were two things will happen. Those who lived through those times again feel recalling those moments with some historical facts that way reminder is introducing the author boldly placing ourselves in the context. For those who did not live those years will serve as a reference to the close period in the life of this country.
So we were basically a love story-time ban, a novel of young love. The characters seem close thanks to the way the author has chosen to narrate through the diaries of two teenagers. Perhaps the problem is that to try to approach the character of these texts are young at certain times somewhat repetitive because, obviously, many of the citations refer to the love that concerns them and fills them. However I that the regular reader of romances appreciate the repetition and the crumbling of the process of falling in love out of respect to the finish to reveal text.
Another aspect is that the process of falling in love will be parallel to the discovery of the political struggle by the Communist Party and its Catalan branch (Partit Socialista de Catalunya Unificata, PSUC) during the time the parties were prohibited . This experience of the underground, from the time the messages and slogans that ran through the graffiti and leaflets is one of the most important aspects of the novel and because of the accuracy of dates and facts I dare say that either was an issue that the author lived or very good has been in the library collection.
also highlight the experiences during military service a whole generation now that does not know what it was.
Finally, a book to remember and relive a story through which will please the romantic reader.
