'What is primarily new and important about this study is the commingling of memory and space in the context of memory studies in Spain. Ryan argues persuasively for the necessary integration of the temporal and the spatial and illustrates her point through the close reading of seven different narrative texts. Ryan is sophisticated theoretically, is an excellent reader-and it shows throughout her work.' David Herzberger, University of California, Riverside

David Herzberger, University of California, Riverside, USA 'Within the present Spanish context of the reconceptualization of historical memory during the Civil War and postwar periods, this book shows the importance of spatial narrative in order to appropriate one's own (collective) history and identity.' Forum for Modern Language Studies 'Lorraine Ryan's Memory and Spatiality in Post-Millenial Spanish Narrative offers a novel approach to memory studies ... Ryan's monograph makes a valuable and original contribution to the burgeoning field of memory studies. Her focus on space, her concern with authorial motivation, her deft use of a range of conceptual frameworks, and her detailed contextualization make it essential reading for those working on memory studies in Spain.' Bulletin of Hispanic Studies
