Las vidas que no viví

Synopsis of Las vidas que no viví

Anna and Pari are two women who meet in Menorca, around an abandoned hotel and a garden rescued from oblivion. Anna, originally from the island, returns after many years away in the midst of a personal crisis, while Pari has arrived from Iran after leaving her previous life behind. Through their encounter, the novel explores themes such as gender inequality, housing issues, migration, and family memory. This work by Patricia Almarcegui is a story about destinies and spaces under reconstruction, where the historical narratives of Menorca and Iran intertwine, reflecting on the right to forget and the search for one's own place in the world.
