The Author: Roser Caminals-Heath is an associate professor of Spanish at Hood College (Frederick, MD, USA). Born in Barcelona, Spain, she received her B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Barcelona, and has lived in the U.S. since 1981. She has published a scholarly translation of a classic Spanish novel, The House of Ulloa (1992) and several essays and reviews in professional journals such as The Georgia Review and The American Book Review. Currently, she is the fiction editor of The Monocacy Valley Review.
Once Remembered, Twice Lived is a novel set in Barcelona, Spain, that traces the stories of two families of different backgrounds united by marriage. The lives of three generations, spanning from 1900 to the 1970's, are touched by private tragedy as well as by the Civil War of 1936. Rather than being linear, however, the narrative is circular and impressionistic, prompted by recall rather than by conventional chronology: Characters who die in the third chapter may reappear in the twentieth, reminding us that memory is the only possible victor over time.
