«La higuera» is the novel by Ramiro Pinilla, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
In Getxo, the construction of a school in 1966 unearths the story of Rogelio Cerón, a Falangist marked by the hateful gaze of a boy whose father had been taken from him. Confined beside the fig tree growing over a mass grave, Rogelio Cerón tries to watch over that boy's fate to ward off his guilt.
The novel was originally published in 2006, and this Maxi-Tusquets edition came out in April 2011.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction seeking a story about memory, guilt, and the Civil War.
