Abstract

Ana Cañil’s novel narrativizes the cruelest measure against incarcerated Republican women: the removal of their children. Referencing testimonial tomes by Mercè Núñez. Targa, Juana Doña, and Tomasa Cuevas, Si a los tres años no he vuelto fictionalizes real-life female jailers (including the infamous María Topete) and inmates in Ventas, Madrid’s prison for nursing mothers, and Toledo’s prison for “fallen women.” Cañil’s depiction of state-sanctioned child abduction that concludes with a happily-ever-after reunited family underscores the equally fantastical fiction of Franco’s propaganda: the state’s pious magnanimity that redeemed errant political prisoners and honored their maternity in the utopian San Isidro prison for nursing mothers. This chapter investigates Cañil’s fairy-tale-like ending as a counter tale to the publicity narratives and photos in the propaganda publication Rendención.
