Una novela acerca de la búsqueda de la libertad femenina que llevó a Carmen Martín Gaite a convertirse en un clásico de la literatura del siglo XX. No le contesté ni que sí ni que no. Seguí diciéndole adiós con la mano, hasta que la vi pararse en el límite del andén, sin dejar de mirarme. Se le caían las lágrimas.Entre visillos (Premio Nadal 1957) retrata el ambiente, el conservadurismo y la hipocresía que subyace en una ciudad de provincias española de mediados del siglo pasado. Las conversaciones aparentemente banales entre las jóvenes protagonistas de esta novela nos irán dando a conocer sus angustias, su miedo a quedarse solteras, la monotonía de sus vidas, sus paseos y primeros novios, los bailes en el casino y esa tristeza que se oculta tras el aburrimiento y la falta de imaginación. La llegada del nuevo y atractivo profesor de alemán provocará en las protagonistas el deseo de liberarse del conformismo y de esa atmósfera opresiva. A novel about the search for female freedom that turned Carmen Martín Gaite into a twentieth-century literary classic.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
I didn't say yes or no. I kept waving goodbye until I saw her standing on the end of the platform--her eyes never left me. She was crying.
Behind the Curtains (Nadal Prize 1957) portrays the environment, the conservatism, the undergoing hypocrisy in a city of the Spanish countryside, in the mid-twentieth century. The apparently banal conversations among the young protagonists show us their anguish, their fear of being single, the monotony of their lives, their walks and their first boyfriends, the dances at the casino, and that sadness concealed behind boredom and a lack of imagination. The arrival of a new and attractive German professor will result in their wish to break free from conformism and that oppressive atmosphere.

Be careful when washing!!!
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
Loved the jeans but after I washed them only after wearing one time, the color got completely stained. I washed on gentle with like colors and somehow the entire jeans turned splotchy. So upsetting because the fit and feel were great.

Great Jeans!!
Special Size: Wide Leg, Size: 8, Color: Stone Dark Wash
I love these wide leg jeans! The denim is thicker and more durable than I was expecting, especially for the price. These are a great quality! I get compliments on them every time I wear them and people are surprised when I tell them they're Amazon Basic brand. They fit true to size as I followed the size guide. From now on my jeans will be this brand!

Surprising good - great quality for price.
These are great for the price. They run a little wide in the waist so I sized down from an 8 to a 6 and they fit perfect. They are a true wide leg - so don’t buy if you are looking for something more straight leg or flair. The quality of the denim is very nice. I’m actually surprised and the quality. These do not feel stretchy which is good for the style. Very happy. Hopefully they hold up after washing

Very thick fabric
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 8, Color: Black
Great quality. Would have been 5 stars, but the material is very thick and stiff. They do run small, but long. I ordered the 8, I’m 5 foot. They needed to be hemmed about 4 inches.

GET THESE JEANS!!
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash, Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
I ordered these jeans because they were recommended by a youtube influencer and I have 0 regrets! They are a fairly heavy denim with just the right amount of stretch to them. I'd consider them to be mid to high waisted since the closure is right below my belly button. However, if I hike them up a bit they sit right above the belly button. I washed and dried them with little to no shrinkage. Length-wise they're slightly cropped on me, and fall right above the ankle. These jeans are honestly SO versatile because they look great with ballet flats, heels, tennis shoes, AND suede or leather ankle boots! Since I couldn't decide, I ordered them in two colors (iced blue light wash & medium blue vintage), and I love them both!! For reference, I'm 5'6 and 170 lbs. I ordered size 12 and they fit great. Highly recommend. You CANNOT beat the price for this level of quality in my opinion!!
