Los 80 años de Sofía: Esposa, madre y abuela
Description:
Coinciding with Queen Sofía’s 80th birthday, Jaime Peñafiel delivers an intimate, personal tour filled with family photographs of the most long-suffering yet beloved queen of Spain. Peñafiel examines the most important events in Sofía’s life in her lesser-known roles: those of wife, mother, and grandmother. A lot can fit into eighty years: joy and tears, happy moments and less enjoyable ones… but above all, it is a good occasion to take stock of a life. Sofía, former queen of Spain, and without a doubt the most beloved member of the Spanish royal family, has little cause for celebration: nearly no contact with her husband, the humiliation of her daughter Cristina’s exile, and the imprisonment of her son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarin. And if that weren’t enough, her relationship with granddaughters Leonor and Sofía isn’t as idyllic as it could be, as demonstrated in the sad episode in the Mallorca cathedral, which wasn’t erased by the scene put on by Queen Letizia and Sofía herself a few days later, pretending to be the ideal family at the doorway of the hospital where they were visiting King Juan Carlos. Jaime Peñafiel, one of the journalists who knows the queen best, reveals to us, chapter by chapter, the story of her life: a life that has little to do with that of fairly tale queens and princesses. 192 pages
