Shifting between the intimate present and the archival past, New York City and the remote mountains of Negueira de Muñiz, Galician writer Brais Lamela’s award-winning debut novel follows a young scholar’s journey into the forgotten history of the Franco regime, uncovering both the past and the still-present afterlife of a forced resettlement project in the Galician countryside of the 1960s.

Praise

Immensely impressed & moved by this beautiful debut.
—Garth Greenwell, author of Small Rain

This spare, transfixing novel pulled me in immediately. . . . Jacob Rogers’s subtle translation is an ideal match for the sensibility of Lamela’s writing in this stunning book.
—Idra Novey, author of Take What You Need

What Remains blends personal and historical, archive and memory, forms of habitation and migration. This important novel announces a major new voice in Galician literature.
—Daniel Saldaña París, author of The Dance and the Fire

A masterful first book. A novel at a crossroads of times, places, and genres, one that invites profound thought and intense feeling.
—Manuel Rivas, author of The Last Days of Terranova
