Irene Solà’s When I Sing, Mountains Dance is a gorgeous and masterful novel—I adored every page. Each chapter is narrated by a different member of a small community in the Catalan Pyrenees, be they people, animals, or nature. Folklore is steeped in a luscious brew of mountain air and poetry, and, as decades pass, the characters’ lives grow around a few central tragedies like plants searching for light. Solà’s unique storytelling through the nonhuman is so clever and utterly visceral.
