Rosa Montero is perhaps the best Spanish-speaking journalist. She is the author of novels such as The Danger of Being Sane or The Crazy Woman in the House.
She has just published a book that compiles her notes from the El País newspaper. Her reports dazzled a country that was born to democracy and was preparing to abolish the fallacious custom of dictatorship. She told the vestiges of that long and sad excursion of Spain through the post-war period and the Franco regime.
