«Mentira» is the contemporary novel by Enrique de Hériz published by Edhasa in hardcover (648 pages, in Spanish).
An anthropologist is presumed dead in Guatemala; she does not correct the error and her children go so far as to prepare the repatriation of her ashes. From there, the narrative delves into family memory, bringing to light lies, mythifications and secrets in parallel stories that reflect on the art of storytelling, death and family relationships.
Winner of the Premi Llibreter for narrative 2004, the novel was translated into more than ten languages and belongs to the Edhasa Literaria collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Spanish narrative interested in stories about memory and family relationships.
