«Estremida memòria» is the contemporary fiction novel by Jesús Moncada i Estruga, published by La Magrana in paperback (352 pages, in Catalan).
The novel is set in a village on the banks of the Segre river and portrays the collective memory of its inhabitants, the identity of the place, and the changes brought by progress. Through close characters and everyday scenes, Moncada builds a narrative that captures a world fading with time.
It won the Joan Crexells Prize for narrative in 1997 and the Serra d'Or Critics Prize for novel in 1998.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Catalan narrative and for those seeking a story with a rural atmosphere and evocation of memory.
