Wow, another very cool book. This book, while ENORMOUS, is really engaging. It's beautifully written, well paced and full of suspense. In a nutshell and without giving too much away, it's about a young boy in Barcelona who happens across a novel by an obscure author. The book intrigues him and he begins a search for the author. Set in 1945, the country is in political and social turmoil and this seemingly innocuous quest leads to danger and conflict.
Really really enjoyed this - learned a bit about Spanish history too. It was easy to imagine the scene as I loved Barcelona and many of the places where key scenes are set are easily recognisable. A great mystery with an excellent ending.
