«La casa de la frontera» is the novel by Rafael Vallbona that won the Premi BBVA Sant Joan 2017, published by Edicions 62 in hardcover (336 pages).
The novel begins when Carme, now retired, closes the family home for the last time, a former inn in Puigcerdà near the French border. Carme then evokes the Grau family from the nineteenth century and all those who passed through: smugglers, fugitives and exiles, amid episodes such as the Civil War, the postwar period and the rise of tourism.
The novel is part of the El Balancí collection from Edicions 62 and was published in Barcelona in August 2017.
The novel is suitable for readers of contemporary fiction interested in family sagas and the history of the twentieth century in Cerdanya.
