«La canción del mirlo» (memories of a childhood) is the autobiography of Jennifer Lauck, published by Maeva in paperback (340 pages, in Spanish).
The author recalls her childhood in 1970s California, from age five to twelve. After the death of her mother and, later, her father, she is left at the mercy of a cruel stepmother and must learn to survive on her own. With close, direct language, the narrative turns her lost childhood into a testimony of resilience.
Originally published in English as «Blackbird: A Childhood Lost and Found»; the translation is by Alejandro Pareja.
For readers of memoirs and stories of personal overcoming, and for those who enjoyed works such as «Las cenizas de Ángela».
