Mercè Foradada

Mercè Foradada (Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona; January 16, 1947) is a Spanish writer who was a teacher of the Catalan language. In her creative corpus, the main characters are mostly women. This first work, as the author recognized, has some autobiographical characteristics and approaches the figure of a woman who has to face a change in his life after overcoming 50 years. The book is a plea for freedom of spirit. The argument is based on the witch-hunts of the seventeenth century and the lost children of Francoism, and the story is told through two female characters: Segimona, a healer from centuries ago and Pilar, a lawyer in the present times.
