Death in Spring

Strangeness and sobriety ooze out of this novel. Exposes the hidden rituals of violence that underpin societies that rely on atrocity and oppression but not in a preaching-to-the-choir norobvious way.

My daughter loves reading books and this one is great

This review is for the product:Book arrived 2 days early but the quality was very bad.It looks like a very old, dusty copy and has many dust marks, frayed ends and the cover too is misshapen.Thankfully the pages inside are nice and crisp

Poor quality

Mercè Rodoreda was the best female Catalan writer of the 20th century. Her books have an incredible quality, rich vocabulary but simple, and a deep psychology in her characters. Death in Spring is a masterpiece. It's not the most popular book of Rodoreda but without any kind of doubt is one of the best, although it's very difficult to choose which is the best when you are in front of a complete writer who creates amazing and wonderful literature. It's a great honour that Penguin has chosen Death in Spring to be the first book of this new European writers collection. A must!
