Una impresionante novela sobre el amor, la resiliencia y el sacrificio, protagonizada por mujeres de tres generaciones unidas por una vieja maquina de escribir Olivetti, del autor espanol bestseller Mario Escobar.
Ana, de casi treinta anos, regresa a Espana con su familia tras anos de exilio. En el polvoriento atico de la finca familiar, se topa con una vieja maquina de escribir Olivetti, la misma en la que su madre, Carmen, y su abuela, Jocelyn, forjaron su destino como escritoras. Para Jocelyn, escribir era un secreto, su nombre un seudonimo. Carmen solo habia alcanzado un reconocimiento fugaz publicando relatos cortos y ensayos. Atraida por este descubrimiento inesperado, Ana se embarca en un viaje para reconstruir la historia de las mujeres de su familia: sus dificultades, su pasion por la escritura y su lucha por hacer oir su voz.
El viaje de Ana es mas que una busqueda personal: es un reflejo de la lucha mas amplia a la que se enfrentan las escritoras de todas las generaciones, un homenaje a aquellas que lucharon por plasmar sus palabras en el papel a pesar de los obstaculos que tuvieran enfrente.
