Project

Her time at Faberllull Olot will allow her to finish completing the draft of her second crime novel, featuring Inspector Elisa Blanch, and share the writing process with other creators and the public.

The plot revolves around a sexual assault with links to a bygone disappearance and delves into structural violence against women and the revictimisation they suffer from the judicial and police system. At the same time, the protagonist faces the consequences of an assault they experienced as a teenager, making the story also one of resilience and reconstruction.
