Espionaje e intriga en estado puro, amores y desamores desgarrados,
aventura e historia de un siglo hecho pedazos, Dime quién soy es un
apasionante relato protagonizado por unos personajes inolvidables cuyas
vidas construyen un magnífico retrato de la historia del siglo XX.
Un periodista recibe la propuesta de investigar la vida de su bisabuela,
Amelia Garayoa, una mujer de la que sólo sabe que huyó abandonando a su
marido y a su hijo poco antes de que estallara la guerra civil española.
Para rescatarla del olvido deberá reconstruir su historia desde los
cimientos encajando, una a una, todas las piezas del inmenso y
extraordinario puzle de su vida.
Marcada por cuatro hombres que la cambiarán para siempre -el empresario
Santiago Carranza, el revolucionario francés Pierre Comte, el periodista
estadounidense Albert James y el médico militar vinculado al nazismo Max
von Schumann-, la historia de Amelia es la de una antiheroína presa de
sus propias contradicciones que cometerá errores que no terminará nunca
de pagar y que acabará sufriendo, en carne propia, el azote despiadado
tanto del nazismo como de la dictadura soviética.
Desde los años de la Segunda República española hasta la caída del Muro
de Berlín, pasando por la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra Fría, la
nueva novela de Julia Navarro rebosa intriga, política, espionaje, amor
y traición.

The memoir of an entire century, this novel adds a new, original chapter
to Julia Navarro's best-selling career. Tell Me Who I Am surprises and
enchants with a captivating and heartrending story. This is a novel
about memory and identity with an exceptionally well-drawn and
unforgettable literary character: a woman who throughout her
extraordinary life was able to achieve the highly difficult feat of
knowing herself. A victim of her mistakes, aware of her guilt,
frightened by her traumas, she is above all an anti-heroine, a
flesh-and-blood woman who always acts according to her principles,
facing up to every challenge and making errors for which she will never
fully pay. A woman who decided that she couldn't be neutral in this
life.
Navarro's most personal novel surprises for its melodrama and the raw
emotions transmitted by many of its stories. It is filled with pure
adventure, introspection and political chronicle. From the tumultuous
years of the Second Spanish Republic to the fall of the Berlin Wall,
including World War II and the Cold War, these pages are packed with
intrigue, emotion, politics, espionage, love, betrayal and settings like
Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Buenos Aires, Mexico, Moscow, London, Berlin
and Warsaw with brief stopovers in The Basque Country, Cairo, Athens,
Lisbon and New York.**
