ABOUT THE BOOK

This is Ada, back in her village after studying in London, driving around once more with Vicenç Jr. and coming home giddy late on summer nights. These are Ada’s fingers in the morning, racing across the keyboard, capturing and inventing stories: the story of Vicenç Sr., the farmer who lost two fingers in a combine and loves to dance; of Josefa Puig, who was attacked by a cow; of the earrings Vicenç Jr. angrily threw into the Sau Reservoir, swallowed by an enormous catfish; and of the dams that could not hold in the end.

Alternating between the story of Ada and Ada’s stories, Irene Solà’s debut novel is a heady ode to life in a small community, to impossible and enduring love, and to the imagination that fills everything it touches with magic.
