Beschreibung
'Quite simply the most wonderful novel I've read in a very long time...I was literally riveted...I'm in awe of everything about it' Victoria HislopSet just before the financial crash of 2008, Barcelona Dreaming is made up of three stories that are linked by time and place, and overshadowed by a crime committed against a young Moroccan immigrant. The stories are narrated, in turn, by an English woman who runs a gift shop, an alcoholic jazz pianist, and a translator tormented by unrequited love, all of whose lives will be changed forever...Fuelled by a longing for the unattainable and a nostalgia for what is about to be lost, Barcelona Dreaming is a love letter to one of the world's most beautiful cities and a powerful and poignant fable for our uncertain times.'Cool and controlled...Electrifying...Reading Rupert Thomson novels can easily become an obsession' The Times'His confident, spellbinding prose is jewelled with uncanny details, gliding along in language that strikes, unsettles, and reawakens at every turn...This is a brilliant book' Maya C. Popa'These numinous stories, where reality is just the launchpad for flights of extravagant, erotically charged fancy recall much of Roberto Bolaño's early work...A wonderful novel' New York Times von Thomson, Rupert
