A literary revelation: Charo Lagares dazzles with an astounding first novel in which she ponders how certain social conventions end up shattering the bonds of an upper-class, conservative family in Seville. 

Sevillana is the story of Alejandra Díez de la Cortina, an interior designer about to turn twenty-six, and also about to marry Gonzalo, her lifelong boyfriend.

They are both from Seville and both live in Madrid for work. But it is also the story of her grandmother, who has been recently widowed, although she is happy at the thought of her granddaughter's wedding. And it is also the story of her mother, who is more cantankerous than ever: this life of appearences, banquets and prejudices is no longer fulfilling for her. A spellbinding novel about three generations of women and their fraught relationship with money, love, beauty and social conventions.
