Glad to give this 5 stars as I can still hear their voices in my mind. It is specially affecting to read this now with the Euro in crisis and capitalism and the banking community winding up the pressure on Spain. The Spanish civil war was a terrible time but this book paints a distressing (and true) picture of the early years of Franco's Spain, the repression and hunger Spaniards endured during the second world war and afterwards.

Dulce Chacón's book has had an immense success in Spain, no doubt because the novelist speaks with a just and powerful voice, and because she has allowed women - the most anonymous, the most suppressed, the most silenced - to speak out" Le Monde It is 1939. In the Ventas prison in Madrid a group of women have been incarcerated. Their crime is to have supported or fought on the Republican side in Spain's cruel and devastating Civil War. Chief among them are Hortensia, who fought with the militia and is pregnant by her husband Felipe - a man still at large and fighting against Franco's dictatorship - and who lives with the knowledge that she will be shot after she gives birth; sixteen-year-old Elvira, who tried to leave Spain with her mother, but was arrested by the Falangists while she was boarding their ship; Tomasa, whose husband, four sons and daughter-in-law were thrown off a bridge; and Pepita, Hortensia's sister, who from outside the prison acts as messenger between her and her husband. Dulce Chacón's deeply moving novel is based on the actual testimonies of a number of women who survived the Spanish Civil War, and suffered imprisonment under the France regime, as well as on accounts of others who died fighting for freedom. A bestseller in Spain, where it was voted 'Book of the year', The Sleeping Voice is remarkable for its combination of dramatic intensity and historical authenticity.

A destacar también el lenguaje de la autora, que es poeta por vocación. Eso se nota en la forma de contar, llena de recursos poéticos pero administrados con sabiduría, sin que estorben la lectura de lo que, en definitiva, es una novela. Aunque, a juzgar por los agradecimientos finales, casi es un reportaje. A algunos personajes ni siquiera les ha cambiado el nombre. Incluso la foto de la portada es real y, por cierto, que la editorial tiene el buen detalle de citar el archivo donde se encuentra. ( )
