Marian Womack, Memoria de la nieve (2011)


On the train back from Zaragoza, I finished Marian's novel. Of course I have read it before, in various drafts and earlier versions, but I hadn't seen the finished article until now. It is really, really good: the structure is fascinating and everything fits together in a completely convincing and intriguing way. Stories end and then pick up on themselves again, but everything is held together by repeated images, ideas, lines. It's like a book-length poem, and I am very proud.
