«Irse de casa» is the novel by Carmen Martín Gaite published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Amparo Miranda, a fashion designer based in New York, returns after forty years to the provincial city she left behind. With no desire to flaunt her successes or surrender to nostalgia, she wants to go unnoticed and reconstruct an interrupted narrative. During the week she stays there, the narration interweaves her wanderings with the fates of other people, forming a choral frieze in which no character is incidental.
It is part of the Narrativas hispánicas collection (volume 248). It won the Premio Arcebispo San Clemente de Santiago de Compostela in 1999.
Recommended for readers of contemporary literary fiction in Spanish interested in Spanish narrative from the late twentieth century.
