Emma es una mujer joven. No se siente amada por su marido. Su vida conyugal le resulta tan asfixiante que decide abandonar a su esposo, su hija y hasta su trabajo para lanzarse a los brazos de Denís, un hombre con el que vivirá una intensa pero breve aventura amorosa hasta terminar abandonada en plena calle. Decepcionada y desorientada, sobrevive como puede por las calles de Barcelona sin ningún aliciente para salir adelante. Emma piensa en el pasado y en todo lo que le rodea. Recuperar a su hija se convertirá en el objetivo que a partir de ese momento va a guiar su existencia.

About the author

Maria Barbal

47 books32 followers
Maria Barbal is a Catalan writer. Even though she has lived in Barcelona from the 1960s onward, the literary world of her early work as an author concentrates on the Pallars county of her childhood and adolescence, a rural surrounding observed by a critical eye. Her first novel, Pedra de tartera [‘Stone from a boulder’], fully set in that space, was praised by the public and critics alike. Her first novel has been translated into English as Stone in a Landslide
