Contra la nostalgia
Canelles Trabal, Maria
"Mother is dead. The ink is blue. I haven't written by hand in so long I've forgotten my handwriting". Thus begins this unique novel that takes shape and is written during the journey that Meri makes between the city of Syracuse (New York), where she is a university professor, and Sabadell. For forty years he has lived away from home and family: his mother, now dead, and his two sisters. For decades she has remained on the sidelines of memories and ties, but death seems to have brought her mother's voice within her and, at the same time, multiple echoes: childhood games with her sisters, her student years in London, the indelible scars left by life... Narrating is the only option Meri has to live with the voices and to control time.
