| book description |
Eighteen-year old orphan Andrea moves to battle-scarred Barcelona to take up a scholarship at the university. But staying with relatives in their crumbling apartment, her dreams of independence are dashed among the eccentric collection of misfits who surround her, not least her uncle Roman. As Andrea's university friend, the affluent, elegant Ena, enters into a strange relationship with Roman, Andrea can't help but wonder what future lies ahead for her in such a bizarre and disturbing world. 'A really extraordinary novel . . . as a representation of what it’s like to live inside catastrophe and chaos and intense isolation, I think it’s quite close to unmatched’ - Katie Kitamura, Booker-shortlisted author of Audition 'One of the great classics of contemporary European literature' - Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of The Shadow of the Wind Translated by Edith Grossman
