«Quan érem feliços» is the memoir novel by Rafel Nadal, published by Labutxaca in paperback (420 pages, in Catalan).
An autobiographical novel based on the experiences of a family of twelve siblings in post-war Catalonia. The author evokes in the first person the landscapes of his childhood: the streets of Girona's Barri Vell, the summers in la Fosca, the Septembers at the Aiguaviva farmhouse, and the boarding school years at Collell. A narrative combining emotion, humour and tension, with an intimate and panoramic tone of an almost cinematic air.
Winner of the Premi Josep Pla 2012 and the Premi Joaquim Amat-Piniella. The author, Rafel Nadal i Farreras, was born in Girona in 1954 and was director of El Periódico de Catalunya between 2006 and 2010.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and memory literature, with an interest in post-war Catalonia and family stories.
