        Under the Fig Tree

        by María Bautista

        Clara returns from Berlin after ten years with a suitcase filled with pain and guilt. It’s almost impossible for her to feel like she is back home: her mother is not there anymore and her friends are trying to survive the economic crisis and adult life. Without prospects and without a job, she tries to face her past and to recover the hope of a future by moving to a small village in Salamanca to take care of Inés, her 93 years old grandmother. In a house full of the old woman ghosts, always ill-tempered and elusive, Clara will discover a story that, like her own, is marked by the deaths of others and by secrets that, sooner or later, will come out to light. With a Spanish depopulated rural village as a background, the novel tells the encounter between two generations of women and how they overcome their differences through sorority and solidarity.
