El eco de los disparos

This memoir marks a significant shift in Portela's writing, moving from her earlier fictional explorations of memory and conflict to a direct, personal engagement with her own family's history and the impact of the Basque Country's violent past. It offers a more intimate and autobiographical perspective compared to her previous novels.

The book is a memoir, drawing directly from Edurne Portela's personal experiences and her family's history within the context of the Basque conflict. It reflects on real events and their psychological and emotional repercussions across generations.
