«La familia» is the novel by Sara Mesa, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Damián, the father, proclaims that there are no secrets in his family, but beneath that appearance of normality the house is full of cracks and oppression. The choral novel follows two girls, two boys, a mother and a working-class father over several decades, showing how coexistence generates concealments, pretences and lies, and how the desire for freedom and criticism of the foundations of the family institution pulse within those stories.
It belongs to Anagrama's Narrativas hispánicas collection, number 700. The edition includes a prologue by Isidro Ferrer.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction seeking stories about family life, power relations and the complexity of human behaviour.
Sara Mesa is a Spanish writer, widely translated and internationally recognized. Born in Madrid, she has lived in Seville since childhood.
