Blitz: A Novel, by David Trueba
€6.00
Quay Books
A novel about a young Spanish architect's affair with an older German woman.
The exploits of Beto, a young architect who heads to Munich with his girlfriend to take part in a landscape-planning competition. In an instant, a text message Beto wasn't meant to receive shatters him, leaving him bewildered and heading nowhere. But unintentionally he falls into the arms of Helga, an older woman, in a cross-generational encounter that is the heart of the tale.
“With brilliant touches of witty humour, Trueba develops the theme of time with the narrative’s month-by-month calendar structure, Beto’s design of an hourglass garden, and the glaring age difference between the two lovers . . . A delightfully rendered, bittersweet representation of a May-December romance.” — Library Journal
