«Mariona» is the historical fiction novel by Pilar Rahola, published by RBA La Magrana in paperback (288 pages).
When young Mariona prepares to marry in 1824 in the village of Gràcia, her humble life seems to smile on her, but Catalonia is heading toward a turbulent century. Through her, her husband, children and grandchildren, the author narrates the survival of a family amid revolutions and repressions, industrialization, the first general strike, republicanism, Freemasonry and the Renaixença. The threat of conscription that takes sons away to die far away marks an era in which the consciousness of a woman and a country also changes.
It belongs to the literary series Les ales esteses by RBA La Magrana.
For readers of historical fiction who want to approach 19th-century Catalonia through a social and feminine perspective.
Pilar Rahola i Martínez is a Spanish writer, political analyst and former politician and MP.
