Description
Barcelona Dreaming by Rupert Thomson is a spellbinding novel that weaves together three stories set against the backdrop of Barcelona's vibrant streets. Narrated by an English woman, an alcoholic jazz pianist, and a translator tormented by unrequited love, these interconnected tales explore themes of addiction, racism, celebrity, immigration, and self-delusion. As the financial crash of 2008 looms, the lives of its characters are forever changed by a crime committed against a young Moroccan immigrant. Thomson's confident prose is infused with uncanny details, creating an electrifying narrative that unsettles and reawakens at every turn. This powerful and poignant fable for our uncertain times is a love letter to Barcelona, a city that serves as the perfect setting for Thomson's exploration of the human condition.
