The Time of the Doves by Mercè Rodoreda

featuring Cristina Carrasco, Teaching Associate Professor of Spanish

“The most beautiful novel published in Spain since the Civil War.”
—Gabriel García Márquez

“The Time of the Doves is a book of tender and subtle grace, filled with a deep innocence.”
—Colm Tóibín, The Times Literary Supplement

“An appealing and well-crafted tale of a young woman who’s victimized not only by war and cruel men but by her own unexamined sensibility; moving work from a gifted, if rather special, writer.”
—Kirkus

“Since The Time of the Doves, many thousands of books have been written about the experience of the Spanish Civil War, but none has equaled it.”
—The Nation
