«La noia del ball» is a novel by Jordi Coca, published by Proa in hardcover (344 pages, in Catalan).
After her mother's death, a young woman from Menorca goes to Barcelona and discovers the anarchist culture of the ateneums: Esperanto, swimming, dance and social justice. Her marriage to a violent and uneducated man exposes her to shootings, losses and Francoist repression; terrified, she survives by mythifying her childhood and forging a secret resistance.
Novel winner of the Premi Carlemany 2007, originally published in 2007 in the A TOT VENT-BETA collection.
