Description
BUILDING MEMORY
Book Summary
This book is a tribute to female resilience through the voices of women who have faced adversity in solitude. Sandra Camps weaves a choral narrative in which Vicky, Sister Lucía, Manolita, Cecilia, Andrea, and other protagonists share their falls and resurrections. More than a collection of stories, "Building Memory" reveals how individual effort and courage have created an invisible support network, laying the foundations for today's women to find companionship and understanding where there was once only a void.
What is it about?
The work covers the lives of various women—and one non-binary person—who have gone through experiences of suffering, abandonment, and struggle. Each chapter gives voice to a different protagonist, showing their process of falling and subsequent rebirth. What unites these stories is the realization that, by carving their own paths alone, they have contributed to building a collective social memory. This memory, which does not appear in textbooks, has created the foundations for other women in similar situations to find professionals, guides, and a complicity that did not exist before. The book explores how the testimony of each one becomes a legacy of solidarity and empowerment.

Editorial review
"Building Memory" presents itself as a necessary work within contemporary fiction with a gender perspective. Sandra Camps manages to articulate a mosaic of voices that, from their uniqueness, build a collective story of resistance and solidarity. Her focus on unwritten social memory and the creation of support networks provides a differential value compared to other stories of overcoming adversity. It is a read that connects emotionally with the reader and offers a deep reflection on the legacy of anonymous women in the fight for respect and visibility.
