New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice Three novellas are “cleverly linked together” in this “beguiling love letter to the great city” set before the financial crash of 2008 ( Condé Nast Traveller ). “Ironic, observant, alert . . . its atmosphere [is] invoked with intimate knowledge and a matchless sense of place.” —Colm Tóibín Barcelona Dreaming is narrated by an English woman who runs a gift shop, an alcoholic jazz pianist, and a translator tormented by unrequited love—all of whose lives will be changed forever. Underpinning the novel, and casting a long shadow, is a crime committed against a young Moroccan immigrant. Exploring themes of addiction, racism, celebrity, immigration, and self-delusion, and fueled by a longing for the unattainable and a nostalgia for what is about to be lost, Barcelona Dreaming is a love letter to one of the world’s most beautiful cities and a powerful and poignant fable for our uncertain times.
