A lyrical, genre-defying novel that weaves together myth, memory, and multiple voices to tell the story of a Catalan mountain village shaped by nature, history, and grief.

At the center is the sudden death of a young poet, Domnec, struck by lightning while walking in the Pyrenees. But the novel isnt told just through human eyesinstead, it unfolds through a dazzling chorus of narrators: the poets family, ghosts, neighbors, animals, even the mountains and storms themselves. Each chapter offers a different perspective, creating a rich mosaic of interconnected lives, stories, and the land they inhabit.

As generations reckon with war, love, folklore and loss, When I Sing, Mountains Dance becomes a celebration of storytelling itselfearthy, poetic, and deeply rooted in place. It’s a novel about how landscape holds memory, and how voiceshuman and otherwiseecho through time.
