The Time of the Cherries

Montserrat Roig

A poignant portrait of three generations trapped between fascism and frustrated dreams.

At the tail end of Franco’s rule, after spending years abroad, Natàlia Miralpeix returns to her native Barcelona and reunites with her family: three generations marked by the trauma of the Civil War and crushed by the repressive atmosphere of the dictatorship, who cling to social success or private perversions to give meaning to their existence. With this backdrop, Roig constructs a novel about collective frustrations and hope for change that remains relevant to today’s political struggles.
