SO I WON'T FORGET
Interview with Paquita Suárez Coalla
FUSION Magazine, Spain

Several Asturian women tell their stories in 18 extraordinary tales that portray more than a century in this exciting book by Francisca Suárez-Coalla.

In So I Won't Forget, the reader will find, behind those voices, narratives in the first person that carry a connotation of subversive, parodying and questioning critique. The ferocious Franco dictatorship, the Spanish Civil War, hunger, confinement, marriage, motherhood, the innumerable domestic obligations, frustration, love and happiness, leave their mark on the lives of mothers, daughters and granddaughters. Three generations: a surprising confession, and many secrets, create a story told through many voices that gives shape to the collective Asturian memory.

But So I Won't Forget is, above all, a poetic approach to that which is colloquial where no details, words or anecdotes are despised. It is a space where bodies sweat and rebel against the control of others, where the colors, smells, words and sensations give out clues. ¡Indispensable!
