About this listen

Nueva York, 1936. La pequeña casa de comidas El Capitán arranca su andadura en la calle Catorce, uno de los enclaves de la colonia española que por entonces reside en la ciudad. La muerte accidental de su dueño, el tarambana Emilio Arenas, obliga a sus indomables hijas veinteañeras a tomar las riendas del negocio mientras en los tribunales se resuelve el cobro de una prometedora indemnización. Abatidas y acosadas por la urgente necesidad de sobrevivir, las temperamentales Victoria, Mona y Luz Arenas se abrirán paso entre rascacielos, compatriotas, adversidades y amores, decididas a convertir un sueño en realidad.

Ágil, envolvente y conmovedor, Las hijas del Capitán despliega la historia de tres jóvenes españolas que se vieron obligadas a cruzar un océano, se asentaron en una urbe deslumbrante y lucharon con arrojo para encontrar su camino. Un tributo a las mujeres que resisten cuando los vientos soplan en contra y un homenaje a todos aquellos valientes que vivieron - y viven - la aventura, a menudo épica y casi siempre incierta, de la emigración.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

A fascinating and well researched story

I loved this book! It was a fascinating insight to the lives of those emigrating from Spain to New York at the beginning of the last century. I couldn't wait to listen to the next chapter. Brilliant characters and great narration. Compliments to the author! Highly recommended.
