Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Translated for the first time into English, this richly textured novel by "the shining light of Catalan literature" (Colm Tóibín), follows one young woman's homecoming, as she navigates love, friendship, ambition and betrayal in a Barcelona on the brink of revolution--with an introduction by Colm Tóibín. "An exquisite portrait of old Catalonia meeting its newer version, now nimbly translated by Julia Sanches."--Times Literary Supplement Spring, 1974. After twelve years abroad, Natàlia Miralpeix returns to live near her family in Barcelona, only to find it wholly transformed. Change is in the air and revolution is on the horizon. Franco may still be in power, but his death is only two years away. The younger generation write poetry, listen to Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and talk of communism over coffee. But Natàlia's parents still carry the hidden wounds of the Civil War. As their pasts, colored by unfulfilled ambitious and thwarted dreams, slowly begin to unravel, so, too, does Natàlia's startling secret--the reason she'd left Barcelona all those years ago.  A heady, captivating Barcelona comes to life, a city as smoky, gritty and troubled, as it is romantic and sun-kissed.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A vivid, enchanting novel, spanning over sixty years, chronicling the lives, loves, and secrets of three generations of women in twentieth-century Barcelonaa rediscovered classic by the shining light of Catalan literature (Colm Toibin), with an introduction from Catherine LaceyThat Roigs work has lost none of its immediacy over the years speaks to the urgency of her prose and the timelessness of her vision.Anthony Marra, author of Mercury Pictures PresentsA Most Anticipated Book: Forbes, Marie Claire, and The MillionsThree women from the same familygrandmother, mother, and daughter, all named Ramonacome to life in the pages of Montserrat Roigs Goodbye, Ramona. The eldest Ramona lives quietly with her well-meaning husband, but longs for the romance and adventure of her favorite nineteenth-century novels. Years later, her daughter, Ramona Ventura, finds herself constantly enduring her husbands mood swings and aggressive outbursts. The youngest Ramona falls for a university student whose progressive ideals are undercut by his condescending treatment of her. Each woman, in her own time and in her own way, lives her life in silence: their true feelings about the men in their lives, the violence of Francos dictatorship, and their dreams and aspirations, all go unspoken. But the youngest Ramona is lucky enough to be growing up in a Barcelona on the brink of revolution, in the 1960s, when women are finally beginning to claim agency. Will she break free from the fate of the women who came before her and build a life centered on her own happiness? Goodbye, Ramona is an unforgettable social mosaic of Barcelona across the twentieth century, and a universal, powerhouse story of love, power, and the lasting influence that family holds over all of us.
