«A nena do abrigo de astracán» is the novel by Xabier P. DoCampo, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (400 pages, in Galician).
In the town of Ribadaínsua, in 1947, events occur that some try to hide. Don Amancio, the controlling priest; Agustina, the manipulator, and Isidoro, the martyr tailor, with women like Engracia, Xaquina and Paulina, are silenced lives. Susana, the girl, observes and suffers; the village cinema shows her a hidden world and she loses her innocence.
It won the Fervenzas Literarias Award 2017 and the Follas Novas do Libro Galego Award 2018, both in the narrative category.
Recommended for readers of contemporary narrative interested in rural post-war Galicia and in childhood protagonism as a view of the world.
