In 'La casa dels avis', Vicenç Villatoro explores the history of his maternal grandparents, from the family home in Canet to the turbulent Terrassa of the war and post-war period. The novel narrates the life of a locksmith and a weaver, Catalanists and Republicans, who lived through the exaltation of the Republic, the defeat of the war, and the experience of exile, prison, and the silence of Francoism. Their story is that of those who stay, and their house is the symbol of persistence and rootedness to the land. This work is part of an ambitious trilogy on emigration and identity, offering a vision of Catalan history through a specific family.
