Last Evenings with Teresa: 'Spain's Finest Contemporary Novelist' Guardian (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781035421886)

'One of Spain's most acclaimed writers' New York Times
'Spain's finest contemporary novelist' Guardian

A REDISCOVERED POST-WAR LOVE STORY FROM ONE OF SPAIN'S MOST ACCLAIMED AUTHORS.

1950s Barcelona. A rebellious daughter of a wealthy family meets an ambitious rogue at a party.

Teresa was born with every advantage in life - beautiful, rich, charming and clever. Another left-wing university student in the wealthy neighbourhood of San Gervasio.

Manolo has only ever existed on the margins. A poor immigrant from Murcia like him, stealing motorbikes for a living, could only ever dream of being with the daughter of the Catalan bourgeoisie - until now.

Juan Marsé's masterpiece is an unforgettable portrait of post-war Barcelona - a modern classic on the power of desire and love, ambition and hope against all odds.
