FEBRE

“FEBRE” BY HÉCTOR CARRÉ

I read this long, obligatory = compulsory, Galician book last week and despite this, I found it really interesting. It isn’t the typical long novel that you find really boring at the beginning because it has got a lot of descriptions and it hasn´t got any action. This book is amazing and it has action from the first page until the last one.

“Febre” tells the story that one of the characters says to his granddaughter. It takes place in Noia in the Second World War, and it is about an orphan girl who is different from others, because she denounces every situation that she thinks it isn´t correct. For example Carmucha, the main character, goes to the supermarket to buy tobacco for his her father and when the shop assistant asks her for who was it who it is(was) for, she answers that it was for her and all the people that were there start whispering bad things about Carmucha. Eventually, the shop assistant doesn’t give it to her. She also dresses up as a man to say tell the world that now she has more rights, but her father immediately punishes her. Her objective was to be a wolfram black marketer, who which was a man’s work job. Will she get it?
