Very short novel about an old Catalan woman telling her life, from her birth in a small village to growing up, falling in love, working hard, finding herself in the middle of the Spanish civil war... Y'know, everyday stuff. Deceptively low-key and straight-forward, scrubbed clinically free of any heavy arguments, just sticking to those far-between glowing moments that really matter. Liked it more than I thought I would.
