«Un cel de plom» is the historical novel by Carme Martí Cantí, published by Amsterdam in paperback (336 pages, in Catalan).
The work fictionalizes the life of Neus Català, the last Catalan survivor of the Ravensbrück extermination camp. Born into a family of farmers from Priorat, Català was twenty-two when the Spanish Civil War broke out and became the health officer for a colony of 182 children, with whom she went into exile in France. There she collaborated with the Resistance until she was captured and deported to the Ravensbrück and Holleischen camps, where she experienced hell, but also solidarity and sisterhood among the prisoners.
The novel was first published in 2012 in Catalan. The book belongs to the NOVEL-LA collection from Amsterdam and was Carme Martí's literary debut.
Recommended for readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, exile and historical memory, with a focus on resistance and female solidarity.
