«Pedra de tartera» is a novel by María Barbal Farré, published by RBA La Magrana in paperback (128 pages, in Catalan).
The novel follows the life of a young woman from Pallars, marked by the harshness of the mountain and disrupted by war and other circumstances. In the first person, the protagonist compares herself to one more stone in the scree: she only rolls when a larger one pushes her. Amid miseries and small joys, it portrays a society awaiting change.
It is the first installment of the Cicle del Pallars. It won the Joaquim Ruyra Prize (1984) and the Joan Crexells Prize for narrative (1985).
For readers of historical fiction and contemporary Catalan literature, with an interest in the Spanish Civil War and rural mountain life.
