Paperback Edition: 1
A modern Spanish classic, first published sixty years ago and translated into eighteen languages, now available in English. The novel conveys beautifully the spirit of war-torn, brutalized Barcelona.
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.
Translated by Edith Grossman.
