It is the day before Christmas Eve and there is lots to do, but disaster strikes when Pettson sprains his ankle. How can they celebrate Christmas now, with no tree, ham, meatballs or gingerbread?

梅尔赛·罗多雷达 Mercè Rodoreda （1908－1983） 生于巴塞罗那，20岁结婚生子并开始发表短篇小说。西班牙内战爆发后流亡国外，一边做女裁缝的工作，一边开始写小说和短篇故事。中年时在当时爱人的鼓励下重拾年轻时的写作状态，并成为20世纪后半叶所有加泰罗尼亚语写作者的楷模。《钻石广场》便是其代表作，被翻译成四十多种语言，成为近年来被不断重估的女性主义文学经典。 加西亚·马尔克斯称它“在西班牙内战以后问世的文学作品中无出其右者”。哈罗德·布鲁姆将其誉为“所有时代中最精彩的加泰罗尼亚语小说”。
