Barcelona, ​​October 2019. Following the Supreme Court ruling against the leaders of the Procés, the streets erupt. The airport is blockaded, roads are gridlocked, and barricades and demonstrations take over as the city is gripped by a mix of outrage and fear. Amidst the chaos, a disillusioned teenager finds a cause in the protests to cling to; a Catalan police officer is torn between duty and love for his daughter; a young activist pushes the mobilization to the limit; and an influential businessman operates in the shadows, helping to orchestrate a strategy that soon spirals out of control. Over the course of six pivotal days, Urkinaona paints a multifaceted portrait of a divided society, where political convictions intertwine with personal affections, self-interest, and family loyalties. It is a fascinating, balanced, and comprehensive novel about events from our recent civic history that remain deeply uncomfortable.
