One of Spain's most acclaimed writers' New York Times
'Spain's finest contemporary novelist' GuardianA REDISCOVERED POST-WAR LOVE STORY FROM ONE OF SPAIN'S MOST ACCLAIMED AUTHORS. 1950s Barcelona. A rebellious daughter of a wealthy family meets an ambitious rogue at a party. Teresa was born with every advantage in life - beautiful, rich, charming and clever. Another left-wing university student in the wealthy neighbourhood of San Gervasio. Manolo has only ever existed on the margins. A poor immigrant from Murcia like him, stealing motorbikes for a living, could only ever dream of being with the daughter of the Catalan bourgeoisie - until now. Juan Mars�'s masterpiece is an unforgettable portrait of post-war Barcelona - a modern classic on the power of desire and love, ambition and hope against all odds. 'Juan Mars�'s contribution to European fiction has been consistently remarkable' Times Literary Supplement'A memorable panorama of 1950s Barcelona and its wild heroism' Llu�s Izquierdo
'The best storyteller Spanish literature has given us in many decades' Ignacio Echevarr�a
'He has never written a single page where something interesting isn't happening' Eduardo Mendoza
