About the Book

TRES MUJERES UNIDAS POR UN PODEROSO ANHELO DE LIBERTAD.

Un fulgurante éxito editorial que ha permanecido durante meses en lo más alto de las listas de ventas tras conquistar a la crítica y al público.

Con cerca de medio millón de ejemplares vendidos en Francia y casi treinta traducciones en curso, La trenza fue uno de los fenómenos editoriales de 2017. En esta narración vibrante y conmovedora, Laetitia Colombani -guionista, directora y actriz de reconocido prestigio- aborda las historias de tres mujeres que, nacidas en continentes muy dispares, comparten unas ideas y sentimientos que las unen en un poderoso anhelo de libertad.

INDIA. En Badlapur, la intocable Smita sobrevive recogiendo los excrementos de una casta superior. Resignada a su condición, está decidida en cambio a que su hija no siga sus pasos: la pequeña irá a la escuela y su vida será digna y provechosa, aunque para ello Smita tenga que desafiar las normas establecidas.

ITALIA. A Giulia le encanta trabajar en el taller familiar, el último de Palermo que confecciona pelucas con pelo auténtico. Hubiera podido ir a la universidad, pero dejó el instituto con dieciséis años para iniciarse en los secretos de este oficio. Cuando su padre sufre un accidente y Giulia descubre que el negocio está al borde de la quiebra, afronta la adversidad con valentía y determinación.

CANADÁ. Sarah es una abogada de éxito en Montreal que lo ha sacrificado todo por su carrera: dos matrimonios fallidos y tres hijos a los que no ha visto crecer. Un día, tras caer desmayada en el transcurso de un juicio, Sarah comprende que su vida ha dado un vuelco y que deberá escoger lo que de verdad le importa.

Smita, Giulia y Sarah no se conocen, pero tienen en común el empuje y el tesón de las mujeres que rechazan lo que el destino les ha reservado y se rebelan contra las circunstancias que las oprimen. Como hilos invisibles, sus caminos se entrelazan, formando una trenza que simboliza la voluntad inquebrantable de vivir con esperanza e ilusión.

Reseñas:
«La autora traza con una habilidad asombrosa el retrato de tres mujeres que se rebelan contra su destino, tres historias que dejan entrever una humanidad frágil pero vibrante.» -Le Figaro

«El fenómeno del momento.» -Le Parisien

«Un homenaje a la fuerza de todas las mujeres.» -Biba

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH

In this unforgettable international bestseller, three women from very different circumstances around the world find their lives intertwined by a single object and discover what connects us--across cultures, across backgrounds, and across borders.

In India, Smita is an untouchable. Desperate to give her daughter an education, she takes her child and flees her small village with nothing but resourcefulness, eventually heading to a temple where she will experience a rebirth.

In Sicily, Giulia works in her father's wig workshop, the last of its kind in Palermo. She washes, bleaches, and dyes the hair provided by the city's hairdressers, which is now in short supply. But when her father is the victim of a serious accident, she discovers that the company's financial situation is dire. Now she must find a way to save her family's livelihood.

In Canada, Sarah is a successful lawyer and twice-divorced mother of three children whose identity is wrapped up in her work. Just as she expects a big promotion, her life is shattered when she's diagnosed with cancer.

A moving novel of hope and renewal, The Braid is a celebration of womanhood and the power of connection and perseverance.

"The Braid is a beautifully written novel of determination, bravery, and hope. You will remember Smita, Giulia, and Sarah long after you've read their stories." ---AJ Pearce, author of Dear Mrs. Bird

"We truly loved reading this beautiful simple novel in one sitting." ---Elle France

"Laetitia Colombani is a master of the art of storytelling." ---Le Monde
