One day in life. The author´s narrative work is the collective biography of the people in Salvador who suffered from poverty and the war. Their hope is constant though. Their fighting for a decent and fair life, beyond panphletes and dogmatic orders, is shown with the luminosity of a simple style but which is full of modern and sober narrative techniques. His books show all those feelings of the humble people and; particularly, of women. One day in life is a great and touching novel; perhaps, the most testimonial one by this author. He was awarded The Novel National Prize UCA / Editors 1980. this book has got a lot of editions and has been translated into eleven languages.
