«El club de la calceta» is the novel by María Reimóndez, published by Algaida in hardcover (304 pages, in Spanish).
Six very different women meet in knitting classes, a traditionally female space where they share their frustrations and become aware of their situation. Inspired by the liberating figure of Aunt Davinia, Matilde, Anxos, Rebeca, Elvira, Luz and Fernanda find in unity the strength to face a present that denies or belittles them, in a story narrated from multiple voices that unravels the threads of a sexist society.
The original novel in Galician, «O club da calceta», was recognized with the San Clemente Prize in the Galician language category. This Spanish edition, translated by María José Vázquez Paz, appeared in the Algaida Literaria - Algaida Narrativa collection.
Recommended for readers interested in contemporary fiction with a gender perspective and in choral stories about sisterhood.
