edit data

Maria Barbal is a Catalan writer. Even though she has lived in Barcelona from the 1960s onward, the literary world of her early work as an author concentrates on the Pallars county of her childhood and adolescence, a rural surrounding observed by a critical eye. Her first novel, Pedra de tartera [‘Stone from a boulder’], fully set in that space, was praised by the public and critics alike. Her first novel has been translated into English as Stone in a Landslide

Quotes by Maria Barbal (?)

“Me dio por leer y en los hechos de los personajes reía y lloraba mis propios pasos, las horas lentas que casi nunca los libros nos narran. La biblioteca de la señora fue mi armario de ilusiones y a ella le encantaba que leyera.”
― Maria Barbal, Orosia: mujeres de sol a sol
