  • LITERATURA CON HUMOR INGLES February 22, 2012
    LAS SEÑORITAS DE ESCASOS MEDIOS por Muriel SparkEl libro sitúa la acción en una residencia para chicas con pocos recursos ubicada en el Londres de 1945: el club May of Teck. En ese edificio se congregan distintas mujeres de muy variada condición que, de un modo u otro, luchan para abrirse camino en la vida en un momento histórico lleno de esperanzas. La trama gira, sobre todo, en torno a una de ellas: Jane Wright, futura reportera que trabaja en una pequeñísima editorial; su mirada (a veces penetrante, a veces inútil) guiará al lector por las vidas de algunas de las señoritas que habitan el May of Teck y de algunos otros personajes, como Nicholas Farringdon, un aspirante a escritor que se constituirá, sin saberlo, en el eje de la residencia y, por ende, de la novela.(in english "The Girls of Slender Means")
