LingLass reviewed Death in Spring by Mercè Rodoreda
Review of 'Death in Spring' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
More concentrated than most magical realism. Maybe more like an extended Symbolist poem. While Shirley Jackson is often mentioned as a thematic comparison, it’s closer in tone to the Ghormenghast trilogy, or Ishiguro’s The Unconsoled. If those touchstones sound appealing, then I’d recommend this short, intense, bleak and dreamy Catalan novel.
