Boulevard of the French

Description

In the Valencia of the sixties, in the middle of the Franco dictatorship, three young communists -Josep, Teresa is guilty- they express their disagreement with the Party's official line with unpredictable consequences. At the same time, the investigation into the death of a rich heiress causes a head-on collision between Sebastián Piñol, an honest police commissioner, the Vicente Rodrigos, the expeditious head of the Politicosocial Brigade. Characters as disparate as "El Messié" will also be involved in the plot, a white-collar thief who will miss his stay in France very much, or Carol, the star of a nightclub where individuals of all colors parade, given the problems of his contemporaneity, nor will they emerge unscathed from the events. In fact, the circumstances of a family already destroyed by the Civil War, the Baixauli, they will link this almost period story with another that runs parallel in the present, with men and women who embody and resist as best they can the times they have had to live through. Both narratives converge in a unique novel, in more ways than one, and offer the lucid vision of a society that, full of idealism in the past or wounded by the more recent years, always seems to make human dignity difficult.
