Summary/Abstract: In the novel Memoria del frío (2021), Miguel Martínez del Arco (Madrid, 1961) retrieves the experiences of his mother, Manuela del Arco, a victim of the Francoist dictatorship, who spent nineteen years in different Francoist prisons. In the light of a theorical framework that combines Marianne Hirsch’s post–memorial studies with Martha Nussbaum’s work on the moral scope of vulnerability, this article pursues the aim of analyzing the ethical implications of the novel.
