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 cus toms 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.Format: Paperback Published: UK, 2018 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Pages: 160 Language: English ISBN 13: 9780241352540 ISBN 10: 0241352541 Show more
