Two can only interest me, it must be a woman who made the selection
Hello Pelayo. If you read a little further down you will see that the author is a woman: Carmen Guillén, the same one who answers you right now.
Honestly, I have not written the article thinking about books for women or men, but based on the simple criterion of personal taste. I don't think there are books for women or men, but it would be an honor if you yourself, as a man, would comment or recommend other books so that like-minded people can enjoy good readings this summer. Thank you very much for your comment.
A greeting!
Magnificent recommendations, only one of the books I consider out of what people have to read in terms of the saddest time in Spain ... The three weddings of Manolita ”manipulated and incorrect in terms of the chapters of what happened in this conflict that I separate the Spaniards. For the rest, I believe that the recommendations are made from a direct knowledge of these books and their reading.
As for the comment above, it seems like fucking macho and especially out of place
Thanks Jaime for your comment. As I previously said to Pelayo, the previous commentator, this list is a personal selection, and in this type of selection I try to talk about what I know and what I like and I think the rest of the readers may like. Thank you for your words.
A greeting!
