Intermezzo in Barcelona (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781982245665)

Born in 1942 in Barcelona to a Spanish father and US-born mother, as far back as she can remember Cristina Roldán has always considered herself a fighter for freedom in general and for women in particular. She always says that she leads by example, and that that's the best way to do it. She divided her time between Paris (where she studied) and Barcelona until the age of 46, when she and her daughter Sarah left behind city, home and everything familiar to never return to live there again. Although Cristina has written in French and Spanish since she was a small child, she finished this novel in 1986. She never wanted to publish it until now, and it is now being published for the first time. Cristina is also a painter and has worked as one, with exhibitions worldwide, including three times at Paris' Grand Palace with the Société des Artistes Français under the pseudonym Mariah Rodriguez (www.mariahrodriguez.net). Cristina is the mother of 3 children and grandmother of seven grandchildren and has lived in Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Madrid and London.
