«Amor de cans» is the novel by Maria-Antònia Oliver, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
The novel narrates the confrontation and disintegration of the Gamundines, a Mallorcan family of several sisters. Amid forests, pettiness and miseries, the author displays a clear command of linguistic registers and popular expressions, with a rich portrait of situations and characters. The poetic tone is concentrated in N'Àngela, the sister considered the family's conscience, and the story culminates in a denouement of strong symbolic value about the uprootedness of the characters and of a large part of Mallorcan society.
It belongs to the El Balancí collection (no. 271) and was awarded the Premi Ciutat de Palma Llorenç Villalonga de Novel·la 1994.
Reading for those who enjoy contemporary fiction with a family portrait and social background, especially interested in Catalan literature.
