Here is a summary of the novel in English:

"The Time of the Doves" is a powerful novel that tells the story of Natalia, a young woman coming of age during the turbulent years of the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath. Set in Barcelona, the story follows Natalia as she experiences the hardships, sorrows, and upheavals of a war-torn society.

Natalia, who is known as Colometa, marries a man named Quimet just before the war begins, and their life together is marked by the political and social unrest of the time. As the war progresses and eventually comes to an end, Colometa's life is deeply affected. She faces the challenges of raising a family and navigating the complexities of life in post-war Spain.

The novel delves into the personal and emotional struggles of Colometa, depicting the toll that the war and its aftermath take on her as she tries to find her place in a rapidly changing world. Through her eyes, readers gain a profound understanding of the effects of war on ordinary people, especially women, and the enduring strength required to survive and rebuild in the face of adversity.

"The Time of the Doves" is a poignant exploration of the human spirit and resilience in the face of historical turmoil and personal hardship. It is considered a significant work of literature that provides insight into the experiences of the Catalan people during a tumultuous period in Spain's history.  bOrig Title	Plaça del diamant.
