The Avenue of Illusions
by Xavi Barroso
Description
From a servant in an upper-class home to a Vaudeville star. A woman ahead of her time. A stirring and turbulent story of an era.
- Francisca and María arrive in Barcelona, capital of Vaudeville and anarchism, to work as servants. Francisca has an indomitable character. She dreams of being an artist with a freer life than society has destined her for. She will soon meet Joan, a young anarchist who will steal her heart and reveal to her the magic of Paralelo, the theater-lined avenue. Francisca’s loyalties will be tested in a revolutionary Barcelona with a flourishing theater scene. Strong of character, committed to women’s suffrage and workers’ rights, she will also see the darker side of the city, the humiliation, solitude, betrayal, and unrequited love, but none of this will keep her from success and fame.
