Description
In Almudena Grandes’s novel “Kisses in the Bread,” she delicately and movingly depicts scenes from ordinary people’s lives: a family that, despite difficulties, decides not to change their familiar way of living; men whose sobs can be heard behind a partition after they’ve gone through a divorce; a grandmother who sets up the Christmas tree early to lift her loved ones’ spirits; and a woman who goes to the countryside to find herself on the land that nourished her ancestors. The characters of this polyphonic novel will experience bitter-sweet moments of unexpected solidarity and tenderness, outrage and anger—but they will also show mercy and resilience. And they will learn why grandmothers and grandfathers taught them, as children, to kiss bread.
