Feria by Ana Iris Simón
A lyrical, personal memoir that interweaves memories of growing up in rural Castile with wider reflections on memory, identity and the erosion of traditional community life. Through vivid scenes of family, local fairs and a formative grandmother, the narrator confronts the effects of modernization, urban migration and political neglect on ordinary people while refusing easy labels for their nostalgia. The book is intimate and combative, arguing for the dignity and cultural value of rooted, everyday lives often dismissed by urban elites.
