No Word from Gurb
by Eduardo Mendoza
This was highly entertaining- the commander's ridiculous transformations into different people from Delia Smith to Miguel de Unamuno as he felt fitted the situations were brilliantly timed and made me grin a fair amount.
The narrator's portrait of Barcelona as it prepared to take its place on the world stage was interesting and amusing. The comments on Cataluña and especially Barcelona- provided a snapshot of the region at an exciting period in its development.
Not entirely sure whether people who aren't au fait with or interested in this particular era will enjoy it as much due to some of the references made to specific events and places in the text.
