2 - El Regresso, Carmen Laforet
I feel like the translation made this bleaker than originally intended but could be wrong. Story was fine, but nothing really happened & it wasn't nearly as satisfying or good as the previous one

Story One - El Grito, Karmele Jaio
Sweet little story about a married couple learning to understand one anothers passions.I like that she described the idea of writing as a career as 'vivo de escribir' - aka 'i live to write' to paraphrase. Idk if this is just the way it's written in spanish, the same way we say 'to make a living' but i thought it was a really cute way to word it. Also the descriptions were *amazing*
