Encarnacio is 13 years old when civil war in Spain in 1937. She lives in Barcelona with his parents, sister and older brother. A few blocks away, resident his grandmother and great-aunt ill. Like Anne Frank, she holds her diary of war in which she recounts the family events and everyday life in times of war: rationing and long lines to get 5 tiny pieces of bread, the mobilization of his uncle, the bombings, school days missed because you have to spend his day in queues ...
What concerns a lot is hunger, almost constant for nearly 3 years and food prices exploding. But
Encarnacio also shown great discernment and a certain maturity in his comments.
It does not include war, hatred, differences between men, all of this behind the misery of his people and that the questions a lot. I doubt she has found an answer, especially since nothing has changed since the writing of his diary.
is an interesting document, the style a bit too naive, that we can still understand given the young age of the author and more, it was obviously not intended to be published and Encarnacio should be the only reader wrote in hiding since his family. But this simplicity is that this book can be read by teenagers.
The adult is benefiting as well because I have little opportunity to read about the English Civil War, a new testimony is always good to take.
