Par Maria Antònia Oliver i Cabrer. 2023
Una novel·la inèdita de Maria Antònia Oliver, premi d'Honor de les Lletres Catalanes, que és un cant a la llibertat…
i, sobretot, a l'amor. Maria Antònia Oliver va escriure aquesta novel·la epistolar, inèdita fins ara, a partir de les cartes que ella i la seva parella, el també escriptor Jaume Fuster, es van intercanviar mentre ell feia el servei militar a l'illa de Cabrera, on el van traslladar per motius polítics.La història d'amor dels dos protagonistes, escrita amb els pseudònims d'Olívia Guillot i Yus Picó, trena les emocions, l'enyor i la ràbia per la separació imposada amb el retrat d'un país gris, a finals dels anys seixanta, amb la llibertat i la llengua tancades amb pany i clau. «La vida, en sortir del present, no la conec, serà totalment nova per a tots dos. Quan hi penso fredament, m'esvero. Hi ha un munt de preguntes materialistes: de què viurem? Trobarem feina? [...] Val més no fer càbales, no creus? Després de les tenebres que vivim al començament del nostre camí, el més probable és que tot se'ns faci més planer: almenys estaré al teu costat i això sol omple la meitat del tot. Desitjo un futur inquiet, ple de tu, completament diferent de l'ara que sembla no acabar mai».Stories of the Islands
