When I sing, mountains dance : a novel / Irene Solà ; translated from the Catalan by Mara Faye Lethem. by Solà, Irene, 1990- author. Minneapolis, Minnesota : Graywolf Press, [2022] Subjects Families -- Fiction.   Nature -- Effect of human beings on -- Fiction.   Pyrenees -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781644450802 (paperback) : 1644450801 (paperback) Description:  203 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  A spellbinding novel that places one family's tragedies against the uncontainable life force of the land itself. Near a village high in the Pyrenees, Domènec wanders across a ridge, fancying himself more a poet than a farmer, to "reel off his verses over on this side of the mountain." He gathers black chanterelles and attends to a troubled cow. And then storm clouds swell, full of electrifying power. Reckless, gleeful, they release their bolts of lightning, one of which strikes Domènec. He dies. The ghosts of seventeenth-century witches gather around him, taking up the chanterelles he'd harvested before going on their merry ways. So begins this novel that is as much about the mountains and the mushrooms as it is about the human dramas that unfold in their midst. When I Sing, Mountains Dance, winner of the European Union Prize, is a giddy paean to the land in all its interconnectedness, and in it Irene Solà finds a distinct voice for each extraordinary consciousness: the lightning bolts, roe-deer, mountains, the ghosts of the civil war, the widow Sió and later her grown children, Hilari and Mia, as well as Mia's lovers with their long-buried secrets and their hidden pain. Solà animates the polyphonic world around us, the fierce music of the seasons, as well as the stories we tell to comprehend loss and love on a personal, historical, and even geological scale. Lyrical, elemental, and mythic, hers is a fearlessly imaginative new voice that brilliantly renders both our tragedies and our triumphs.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Sola Checked In Add Copy to MyList
