We present 'Pedra de Tartera' in a deluxe edition, which includes magnificent photographs of Pallars selected by the author to accompany each chapter, making this edition a unique piece, ideal as a gift. The novel narrates in first person the life of Conxa, a woman who, now older and far from the places where she was born, reconstructs her life path in a kind of memoirs. Set in Pallars, between the beginning of the century and the sixties, Conxa's life is marked by historical events such as the Republic, the Civil War and the first years of Francoism, as well as family poverty and uprooting.
