Her work is also a reflection on the female condition and love. Often, nonetheless, her writing allows us to catch a glimpse of hope at the end in such symbolic elements as flowers and jewels. As is the case with the works of all the writers of her generation, the novels of Rodoreda show the effects of the Spanish Civil War - a war that broke lives, loves, and families, and that led to uprooting (in the form of exile for many), profound unhappiness, and destruction. The novels of Rodoreda are the great novels of modern Catalan literature. Mercè Rodoreda, The Fruits of Exile Mercè Ibarz ![]() |
