4/5: This book was a page turner for me. It's a combination of mystery and love story in a very well written language. I really appreciated the setting: The book plays in Barcelona of the 50's which is described with great detail, so that the reader has always a picture of it before its inner eye while following the protagonist through the city. Another aspect that really catched my attention was about spains civil war and its political impact.
After reading the book I had the same feeling when looking a good fantasy movie. While you are in it you love it, but when you think about it you discover many coincidences that make the story not authentic. But I don't think that matters too much, because while reading I never felt like that. Instead i always wanted to continue reading. Therefore, a 4/5 seems like a good rating for me :)
