«La gran casa» is a novel by Nicole Krauss, published by Salamandra in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
An old desk that may have belonged to Federico García Lorca links several stories: a writer in New York, a married couple in London, and a student in Oxford. With one of its drawers sealed, the piece of furniture crosses decades and cities while becoming a symbol of memory and of an inheritance both material and emotional.
Salamandra Narrativa collection. Translation by Rita da Costa. Original title: Great House (2010).
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and reading clubs interested in novels that explore memory, loss, and the weight of the past.
