Description

Monserrat Roig’s first novel, Goodbye, Ramona is a powerhouse story told through the point of view of three generations of women from the same family. Opening with scenes of a pregnant woman looking for her husband after a bombing, Goodbye, Ramona explores the role of family, women’s relationships with men, the influence the weight of history and events out of their control have on them, and the silence in which they live their lives. Goodbye, Ramona is an historical and social mosaic seen through the lives and experiences of the female characters.
