The new novel by África Vázquez talks about music, theater, identities that deviate from the norm, first loves, and second chances
Nothing interesting ever happens at high-school: classes, exams, enduring the taunts of the popular kids, more classes, trying to blend in, more exams. Until Ruth, the Spanish teacher (who says Spanish teachers are boring?!), decides to put on a musical of Les Misérables at the high-school.
Every Wednesday afternoon, the auditorium transforms into a stage. Rehearsals, choreography, hushed songs, and heartfelt confessions. What begins as an impromptu club soon becomes a refuge, a revolution, a home.
