“Calila” “a nimbly written and compelling study”

Calila: The Later Novels of Carmen Martín Gaite

by Joan L. Brown

“Brown has crafted a nimbly written and compelling study of Martín Gaite’s novelistic world since 1990. She adeptly summarizes plot development while appropriately interweaving key literary criticism of each work. The use of personal correspondence and photographs is especially engaging for this reviewer as they lend greater texture and nuance to Brown’s elucidation of these novels.”
