Volver a dónde

Madrid, June 2020. After a three-month confinement, the narrator assists from his balcony as the city awakens to the so-called new normal, while reliving the memories of his childhood in a peasant culture whose last survivors are now dying. To the painful realization that with him the family memory will disappear, is added the certainty that in this new world born of an unprecedented global crisis, harmful practices that we could have left behind still prevail. Return to Where is a book of overwhelming beauty that reflects on the passage of time, on how we build our memories and how these, in turn, keep us standing in moments when reality is suspended; an essential testimony to understand an extraordinary time and the responsibility that we acquire with the new generations.
