La memòria de l’arbre

The Memory of the Tree

Tina Vallès

"Can I be happy?" He does not know why, but Jan senses that it is not so good news that now they would be five at home. Grandparents Joan and Caterina have left Vilaverd and have settled with them in the apartment of the Sant Antoni neighborhood, in Barcelona. And this change will alter the daily life at home, where words and silences will take new meanings. But Jan and Joan have their own world, full of walks, trees and letters with more meaning than it seems.

La memòria de l’arbre (The Memory of the Tree) is a beautifully written and constructed novel that succeeds in placing the reader under the skin of a child. A novel that talks about the transmission of memories, how they are made and how they are preserved, where they are stored and how they can get lost. A memorable book that also supposes the confirmation of talent as narrator of Tina Vallès.
