Winner of the 2025 Proa Novel Prize. When fear rules Europe, they choose to do what must be done
In the darkest of times, when violence and fear grip Europe, a group of people come together to do what must be done—without asking anyone about their origins, religion, or ideology. Because they cannot look the other way while the world burns. Who Saves a Life shows how, during the Second World War, this heterogeneous group—men and women, young and old, priests and communists—created an escape network in the Cerdanya region to save all kinds of people fleeing fascism.
Their message resonates powerfully today: in a world dominated by a threatening power determined to impose itself at the expense of all humanity, a hand reaching for another hand can carry unimaginable force. With these threads, Núria Cadenes has woven an intense and moving novel that is both a tribute to anonymous courage and a true work of art.
