In The Song of Youth, Montserrat Roig boldly presents eight remarkable stories that use language as a weapon against political and social "dismemory." Her powerful and striking prose allows the important stories of those silenced by the brutal Franco regime to, at last, come to the fore. The Song of Youth is undoubtedly feminist and deeply critical but, as always, Roig's lyrical writing gives shape, depth, and significance to the human experience.
