Al abuelo de Manolito lo van a operar de la próstata y, de la noche a la mañana, Manolito y el Imbécil pasan a ser unos niños «abandonados» frente a la puerta de la Luisa, la vecina de abajo. Pasado el primer susto, la Luisa decide comprarles ropa, peinarlos y dejarlos como nuevos. Pero este cambio de imagen no engaña a nadie porque pronto terminan metiéndose en líos por partida doble. Y es que, aunque aún no sepa leer ni escribir, el Imbécil tiene mucho talento para ello.

Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award This intimate family novel that follows the rise and fall of a great love is also a moving tribute to the generation that struggled to survive in Spain after the Civil War. In Open Heart, Elvira Lindo tells the story of her parents—the story of an excessive love, passionate and unstable, forged through countless fights and reconciliations, which had a profound effect on their entire family. Manuel Lindo came from nothing, but stubbornly worked his way up at the Dredging and Construction Company. Obliged to move from city to city for his job, the family couldn’t put down roots, and Elvira and her siblings’ childhood was marked by unpredictability. As they pass through temporary homes, they’re caught between Manuel’s outsized temper and their young mother’s worsening illness, which would tragically take her life. Beginning with nine-year-old Manuel’s experience in Madrid in 1939, Open Heart takes us on a sweeping journey through Spain full of beautifully observed insights about love in its many forms.
