I Will Not Write Your Story

The long-awaited fourth novel by Laia Fàbregas takes the reader to an unknown and unusual America, on the banks of California's immense and enigmatic inland lake, the Salton Sea: non-existent at the beginning of the twentieth century, a paradise in the desert in the sixties and today an almost apocalyptic site.

When Dylan regains consciousness next to a road in the Californian desert after a motorcycle accident, he doesn't know what happened to him, or why he's barefoot, or where Sarah, the girl who was with him, is. Nor does he suspect that the answers to these questions originate nearly a hundred years ago, on an Oklahoma farm...

No escriuré la teva història (I Will Not Write Your Story) covers three generations of the Pont family, from the twenties of the last century until shortly before the coronavirus crisis, and the conflicts and dramatic circumstances that they have to live through, which mark, in the present, the tense and electric reunion between the last descendant, Dylan, and his mother.

And it narrates two opposite journeys, that of the Ponts from Oklahoma to California looking for a future and that of Dylan towards his past, to discover who he is. Two journeys that collide in the dramatic story of a complex and singular woman, the unforgettable Patsy Pont.

An atypical family saga in the most unknown America.
