The Wonders by Elena Medel
Through the vivid interior worlds of two unforgettable characters, Elena Medel brings a half century of the feminist movement to life, revealing how little has really changed for?women who work the night shift.? Winner of the prestigious Francisco Umbral Prize for Book of the Year and already a sensation in Spain,?The Wonders?follows Mar?a and Alicia through the streets of?Madrid, from job to job and apartment to apartment, as they search for meaning and stability, unknowingly tracing each other?s footfalls across time.? Mar?a moved to the city in?1969, leaving her daughter with her family but hoping to save enough to take care of her one day. She worked as a housekeeper, a caregiver,?a cleaner?somehow always taking care of someone else. Two generations later, during the Women?s March in?2018, Alicia was working at the snack shop in the Atocha?train station when it overflowed with protesters and strikers. Women, so many women, were flooding the streets with their signs and chants.
