Narration Supposing Books Dime quién soy
Una periodista recibe una propuesta para investigar la azarosa vida de su bisabuela, una mujer de la que sólo se sabe que huyó de España abandonando a su marido y a su hijo poco antes de que estallara la Guerra Civil. Para rescatarla del olvido deberá reconstruir su historia desde los cimientos, siguiendo los pasos de su biografía y encajando, una a una, todas las piezas del inmenso y extraordinario puzzle de su existencia.Marcada por los hombres que pasaron por su vida -el empresario Santiago Carranza, el revolucionario Pierre Comte, el periodista estadounidense Albert James y el médico militar vinculado al nazismo Max von Schumann-, la vida de Amelia Garayoa es la de una mujer que aprendió que en la vidsa no se puede volver sobre el pasado para deshacerlo. Desde la España republicana hasta la caída del Muro de Berlín, pasando por la Segunda Guerra mundial y los oscuros años de la Guerra fría, esta burguesa y revolucionaria, esposa y amante, espía y asesina, actuará siempre de acuerdo a sus principios, enfrentándose a todo y cometiendo errores que no terminará nunca de pagar.
Memoria de un siglo convulso, caracterizado por la barbarie de los totalitarismos, esta obra es una vuelta de tuerca en la trayectoria de una de nuestras novelistas más internacionales. Dime quién soy sorprende por su dramatismo e instrospección, por su intriga y por sus emociones a flor de piel. Una aventura desgarradora y cautivadora que tiene unos personajes excepcionalmente perfilados y literariamente inolvidables.

My first experience with Julia Navarro's books was with "La Sangre de los Inocentes" and I was really disappointed by it. The books was nothing as I expected it to be and I kind of have ruled her out for my future readings. However, when looking for a new book to read, a friend recommended this book, and since we have shared good recommendations before I decided to follow her advice.For every detail I didn't like from the first book, this one exceed by far my expectations. The story isAmazing storyI picked this book randomly and it didnt disappoint me. The main character is adventurous and goes places all around the world, almost making you feel as if you were in those places. Through the book many important historical events take place like the Spanish civil war, WWII, the Cold War and the fall of Berlins wall.The chapters on the WWII context really touched my heart since many of the terrible things happening in the developing of the chapter, were not just fiction but things
It's a great book, one of the bests that I have read. It's very well writen and it's an amazing book for people who want to know how people lived in Europe in the 20 century.
Worth reading maybe more for it's historical examination of the times, but I rank it pretty average. I didn't like the writing style - a lot of short choppy sentences. This could be due to having been translated?? I also got tired of the protagonist's many travels. That ploy got old after the first few rounds. Based on feedback from others in our book club, I took the trouble to set out a rough family tree from the beginning. That did help some in keeping the players in line. The ending was
Probably the best ending of any book I read. A book that perfectly combines family drama, war, traveling all around the world and historical facts.
This book sucks! It's one of the lamest stories ever. Without any twists everything is just straight forward and the main characters are boring. The "journalist" who isn't able to do any research by himself and always needs people that are pointed out to him and happen to know exactly what he needs. The writing doesn't change a bit if the story shifts from one character telling it to another. And don't want to spoil the end but I was thinking "what? This is it? This is how the author intended
Although the story grabs your attention through the protagonist's suffering and pain, it's just that: melodrama. I won't lie, I have liked it at times, but that has been a 10% out of 100%. Firstly, I did not like the protagonist, who is suppossed to be incredibly smart and brave woman, but whose actions are more of a stupid irresponsible little girl playing spy. Secondly, the story is too long. I feel like dramatic tension and peace are wrong, making it boring at times and interesting in others.
