Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses a number of recent novels by Spanish women writers that present women's experiences in Spain during the years of the Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship. It considers these works in the context of the "memory boom" in contemporary Spain and draws on work from the fields of memory and trauma studies.
