  "description": "It's common knowledge that the stomach is amoral. Behind the counters of one of the most exclusive cafés in the city, Matilde is learning the ropes. As the eldest child of a large, poor family, her meagre salary is spread very thin. Alongside her toils Antonia, a widow who dares not risk her own salary by striking for better treatment; young Marta, impoverished and hungry, with one eye on the till; and Laurita, who spends most of her shifts flirting with the actors who sit near the counter. Each woman grasps for happiness and dignity; each woman will be confronted by the shocking, even deathly, results of asking for more in a world that wants them to be less. Luisa Carnés’ modernist magnum opus uses the microcosm of the tea room to explore a society in foment. Tea Rooms remains as radical now as it was on first publication. ‘Luisa Carnés uses literature like a loaded gun’ - El País Translated by Annie McDermott and Robin Munby.",
