I finished this gorgeous novel set in Barcelona in the 50’s on our last day here in Barcelona. It’s a gothic mystery about an author’s novels being systemically eradicated. It’s a gorgeous portrait of the city and the authors prose is so incredibly beautiful that he had me in tears twice before page 15. I loved this so so much
