Awards & Recognition

  • Critical praise

    Praise from Kirkus Reviews

    Kirkus Reviews describes the book as “A splendidly imagined epic voyage...a fabulous fable.”

AlbakiReads Editorial

A peninsula adrift

The novel begins with a rupture in geography: the Iberian Peninsula separates from Europe and drifts into the North Atlantic. Against this surreal premise, five people are brought together, with their connections developing through the upheaval and toward love. The shifting landmass gives the story a broad, fable-like frame, while the people at its center keep the focus on human relationships. This edition is translated by Giovanni Pontiero.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in surreal premises grounded in human relationships.
  • Those seeking fiction set against a large-scale geographical upheaval.
  • Readers exploring 20th-century Spanish world literature.
