A review by dansbooks
Sepharad by Antonio Muñoz Molina, Margaret Sayers Peden

2.0

I didn’t find this nearly as compelling as it might have been, largely because the narrative style just wasn’t to my taste. There is so little dialogue in the novellas, so little that takes place in the time or place in which it occurred. Most consist of reflections on reminiscences of distant events and frequently unnamed characters. No doubt this displacement reflects the sense of diaspora Molina wishes to convey, but it had the effect of distancing me from the characters as well.
