El Almacén, the Cabildo de Lanzarote y La Graciosa's cultural venue in Arrecife, hosts a conversation between Lanzarote-born writer Nieves Rodríguez Rivera and Mare Cabrera about the new edition of Piel de cebolla. In this novel the author builds an intimate, unsparing story in which memory, landscape and identity are intertwined with the complexities of family ties, centred on the relationship between a mother and a daughter. The new edition is a chance to return to a book that explores the marks family relationships leave on how we understand who we are.
