Reviews«'Once Remembered, Twice Lived' is a stunning recreation of struggle and desire, strife and love in the lives of three generations of a Catalan family. A rich, teeming world - an engaging experience of life in twentieth-century Spain - becomes our own through the moving drama of this novel. As suggested by its wonderful title, Roser Caminals-Heath's work dramatizes through its complex form how memory gives point to the conundrum of the living world. Through memory, in this valuable novel, the stuff of life and biography shines with the focus and significance of art. Through memory, time is redeemed.» (Frank Bergon, Vassar College)
Series Volume NumberVol. 4
SynopsisOnce Remembered, Twice Lived is a novel set in Barcelona, Spain, that traces the stories of two families of different backgrounds united by marriage. The lives of three generations, spanning from 1900 to the 1970's, are touched by private tragedy as well as by the Civil War of 1936. Rather than being linear, however, the narrative is circular and impressionistic, prompted by recall rather than by conventional chronology: Characters who die in the third chapter may reappear in the twentieth, reminding us that memory is the only possible victor over time., "Once Remembered, Twice Lived" is a novel set in Barcelona, Spain, that traces the stories of two families of different backgrounds united by marriage.
