Novel: adult
Literary style: narrative
Language: catalan
Genre: historical novel
In Un pianista en un celler, Muriel Villanueva x-rays us an entire era of great changes through the eyes of a peasant family. With the ability to stir consciences that characterizes her, the author offers us a novel that dances between the present day and the years of the Civil War, in which many residents of the Penedès took refuge from the bombings both in the old wineries and in the new air raid shelters that would later become cellars, but also in the music that made them fly along unexpected paths. A great story about a humble family soon branched out between promotions and downfalls, lords and landlords, aspirations and frustrations. And with the land, the vineyard and the wine as the intangible bond of lives marked by the conflicts of our country.
