Abstract
Marisa Silva Schultze (Montevideo, 1956) is an illustrative example of the experience of exile in Europe as a result of military repression in the 1970s and 1980s in Latin America. His autobiographical fiction novel, Just Ten (2006), tells the life of an Uruguayan family who lives the reunion of three generations, grandmother, daughter and granddaughter, and each one perceives reality according to their life experiences. Andrea visits her maternal family in Montevideo where she lived for three years and then exiled with her mother to Sweden to live a life freed from the pain of the past. The opposition memory vs. oblivion articulates the point of view of all the characters. Andrea decides to return to the European society in which she has been able to develop her life, with music being the space of her personal fulfillment. © 2016, Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
