TWO PEOPLE
Book Summary
In this graphic novel, Teresa Ferreiro subjects her own parents to an intense interrogation to reconstruct the path of two lives that are seemingly ordinary, yet unique and irreproducible. Through memories, youthful dreams, adult challenges, and entry into the workforce, the author paints a portrait of a Spain in transition in which it is still easy to recognize oneself. A double testimony that proves the most fascinating stories are hidden just around the first corner of our family tree.
