Description

'Soaringly beautiful, urgent and disturbing... A masterpiece.' Colm Tóibín, from the introduction

'Dark and beautiful and brilliant' Sarah Moss, author of Ghost Wall

Death in Spring is a dark and dream-like tale of a teenage boy's coming of age in a remote village in the Catalan mountains; a place cut off from the outside world, where cruel customs are blindly followed, and attempts at rebellion swiftly crushed. When his father dies, he must navigate this oppressive society alone, and learn how to live in a place of crippling conformity.

Often seen as an allegory for life under a dictatorship, Death in Spring is a bewitching and unsettling novel about power, exile, and the hope that comes from even the smallest gestures of independence.

'Utterly extraordinary' Claire-Louise Bennett, author of Pond

'Dark and beautiful and brilliant' Sarah Moss, author of The Tidal Zone
