5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for someone learning Spanish,
By
This review is from: Nada (Spanish Language Edition) (Paperback)
This book is about the life of a young woman in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. It is written in the language of a young woman, and, coupled with the fact that there is an English/ Spanish dictionary in the back with a section on idioms, makes it easy to read for someone learning Spanish. Beyond that, it is interesting, exciting, shocking, sad, and funny all rolled into a wonderful accounting of what life was like in this tragic era.

Nada,
By Benjamin Macuil (Mexico City, MEX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nada (Destinolibro) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I have read this book and i think its just one of the greatest stories of all times. It describes the life of a girl, Andrea, who moves to Barcelona to study in a post-war society. She lives in her grandmother's house with her aunt Angustias, her uncles Juan and Roman, Juan's wife, Gloria, their son, and the maid, Antonia. Carmen Laforet perfectly describes every situation, like the impression she got when she first walked into her new home, or her fragile relationship with Ena, the beautiful girl in college, who becomes her best friend, an who also is strangely attracted to Roman. This is the circle of situations in which the story develops. I highly recommend it.

A very good read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nada (Destinolibro) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This is an excellent novel. From the very beginning Carmen Laforet manages to create a very interesting and convincing atmosphere, the characters are full and the plot does not stagnate. I have read it several times and always enjoyed it.
