«L'hora de despertar-nos junts» is the contemporary fiction novel by Kirmen Uribe, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (376 pages, in Catalan).
The novel opens with the 2008 acquisition of Antonio Gezala's painting «Nit d’artistes a Ibaigane» by the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, and follows trumpeter Txomin Letamendi and Karmele Urresti: from the years of Ravel and Rubinstein to the Civil War and exile. A choral story spanning nine decades of Basque, Spanish and European life.
The translation from Basque is by Pau Joan Hernández. It was published in 2016 in the El Balancí collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in personal stories shaped by the Civil War and exile.
