Description
Set in the coal-mining communities of Asturias, Spain, in the 1960s, Carboneras tells the story of the women who worked tirelessly in the mines, caring for their families and communities, while struggling against the dangers of silicosis and a society that ignored them.
These women, often referred to as "carboneras", were the backbone of the mining industry, yet their lives were marked by hardship, love, and loss. Their experiences are woven into a narrative that explores the complexities of their lives and the struggles they faced.
Aitana Castaño's book is a powerful tribute to the women who worked in the mines, and a testament to their strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
