Description
Shifting between the intimate present and the archival past, and between New York City and the remote mountains of Negueira de Muñiz, Galician writer Brais Lamela’s debut novel follows a young scholar’s journey into the forgotten history of the Franco regime, uncovering both the past and the still-present afterlife of a forced resettlement project in the Galician countryside of the 1960s.
A deeply personal debut novel that blends fiction, memoir, essay, and archival writing to explore the complexity of migration, the history of forced resettlement, and the weight of the colonial past.
