The Time of the Doves

Mercè Rodoreda

1962 · Literary Fiction

Tr. David Rosenthal

Picked by Marta
A Catalan woman narrates her life from the Spanish Civil War through the Franco years. Rodoreda wrote this in exile in Geneva. The voice — naive, precise, devastating — is one of the great achievements of 20th-century European fiction. Criminally under-read in English.
