Hui de un crimen involuntario.

Hui de los hombres que no me quisieron.

Hui de una guerra.

Esta es mi historia, entre España y Orán, junto al Mediterráneo.


Orán. Años 20, siglo XX. En esta ciudad africana, pulso español y administración francesa desembarca una joven con el falso nombre de Cecilia Belmonte. En apariencia, ha cruzado el Mediterráneo para escapar de la miseria, como tantos compatriotas. Su razón, sin embargo, es más turbia.


La urgencia por sobrevivir la obliga a dejarse la piel en plantaciones y lavaderos, como empleada doméstica y operaria de fábrica a destajo. Hasta que una madrugada, en la tabaquera Bastos, participa en un delito por el que paga con su sometimiento a un hombre despreciable. Su entereza será lo que la libere y le aporte el coraje para rehacerse y emprender un camino en ascenso, repleto de quiebros, logros y desafíos a lo largo de tres décadas vibrantes.


Esta es la historia de una mujer que vivió el auge colonial y el trágico fin de la Argelia francesa. Y, en paralelo, sus páginas rescatan la memoria de los desconocidos pieds-noirs españoles que, arrastrados por la emigración y el exilio, formaron parte de aquel mundo.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Oran, Algeria. In this African city, Spanish pulse, and French rule, a young woman by the name of Cecilia Belmonte arrives in a boat sometime in the 1920's. She seems to have crossed the Mediterranean to escape misery, like so many others. But underneath her broken appearance lies a much darker reason: she committed a crime for which she paid by subjugating to the will of a despicable man.


Her journey towards reinventing herself and her destiny spans three vibrant decades and recounts a life filled with perilous twists and turns, set against the backdrop of French Algeria and the end of colonial rule in the region. Her life rescues the memories of the Spanish pieds-noirs who, dragged abroad through migration and exile, helped reshape the world as we know it.
