Casa Árabe and Casa Mediterráneo have organized a meeting to present
this book by Santander-native author Guillermo Rubio, published by the
Mankell publishing firm and the first book in the “Casa Mediterráneo”
collection.
Samira on Both Shores is the story of a Moroccan woman who travels to Spain and then returns to her country of origin. It is the attempt to tell a feminist story of overcoming obstacles, about a women in the two different cultures where she lives her life.
This is the second book by Guillermo Rubio, striving to become a symbol and homage to the obstacles which women are forced to deal with and surmount on a daily basis on both shores of the Mediterranean. With a bachelor’s degree in Information Sciences from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, after years working in the fields of marketing and communication at multinational companies, opening restaurants, manufacturing furniture in Brazil and designing commercial spaces, since 2014 he has fully devoted himself to his true calling: writing, which is why he returned to the region of Cantabria where he grew up, as well as creating a publishing firm there, La Vieja Era.
