Mercè Rodoreda's works continue to be translated into other languages and are received with deep appreciation in the countries where they are published. At other times, old translations are rediscovered by readers of the new generations, as has happened in the United States with the most emblematic Rodoreda’s novel, La plaça del Diamant. It was published in 1986 under the title The Time of the Doves, translated by David H. Rosenthal. The prestigious magazine The New Yorker highlights it now as one of their recommended readings for this summer. In her article, journalist Jia Tolentino reflects on the effect of reading the novel: "I was transfixed when I read it for the first time, recently. I felt like Natalia: naïve, permeable, and keenly alive."
