In 'Estremida memòria', Jesús Moncada immerses us in an intriguing story set in Mequinensa in 1877. After forty years of Carlist conflicts, a bloody event shakes the apparent peace of the town. The author, from a 1995 perspective, assumes the role of investigator, proposing to the reader a detective game where each chapter presents a new character and a framework that we must recompose. The novel unearths fragments of collective memory, giving life to the characters and revealing the secrets of a crime in the heart of Mequinensa.
Jesús Moncada i Estruga was a narrator and translator. His work is a re-creation, somewhere between realism and fantasy, of the mythical past of the old town of Mequinenza -now submerged beneath the waters of the river Ebro-.
