«El papel del hijo» is the novel by Jean-Luc Coatalem, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
The narrator reconstructs the figure of his grandfather Paol, a former officer of the French colonial army who, in 1943, was arrested by the Gestapo in a village in Finistère and deported to Nazi concentration camps, and faced with family silence, he fills the gaps of that story with fiction to recover Paol's memory.
The novel, winner of the 2019 Grand prix Jean-Giono and nominated for the Prix Goncourt, was translated from French by Elia Maqueda López. The original French title, «La part du fils», appeared in 2019.
The novel is aimed at readers of contemporary fiction interested in historical memory, family silence and the Second World War.
