«Las palomas emprenden el vuelo» is the novel by Melinda Nadj Abonji, published by El Aleph Editores in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows a family of Yugoslav origin settled in Switzerland and portrays immigrant life through the eyes of its protagonists. Between nostalgia and incomprehension, the narrative addresses identity, memory, and the weight of the historical events that marked the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, with highly visual, nuanced prose.
Novel awarded the Deutscher Buchpreis and the Schweizer Buchpreis in 2010. It was originally published in German as Tauben fliegen auf; this Spanish edition includes a translation by Alfonso López Alloza.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and European literature seeking stories about migration and identity.
