In Zina Rohan’s 2010 novel, The Small Book, this shared vulnerability crosses time and space boundaries by connecting coetaneous characters and their subsequent generations through inherited traumatic memories. These connections lead Rohan to blur the boundaries between what we may understand as victims and perpetrators of trauma. Thus, drawing on significant theories within the fields of trauma and memory studies as well as on conceptions about human vulnerability and interconnectedness, the main aim of this study is to analyse the key narrative mechanisms used by this British–Jewish author in order to represent the shared vulnerability and exposure to trauma that reigns during war and post-war times. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H03-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/FFI2017-84258-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2019-HUM-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 0.487 2020 AREA STUDIES 69 / 80 = 0.863 2020 Q4 T3 0.219 2020 Political Science and International Relations 2020 Q3 Geography, Planning and Development 2020 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 3004 345 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
