Temporarily out of stock

Aunt Josefina's fat white legs under the water; a child standing on a grown-up's shoulders and plunging into the waves; eating lunch on the beach, the food gritty woth sand; a late afternoon swim in the delicious water; getting changed behind the rocks, shivering in the suddenly cold wind; then walking home singing and picking sun-warm blackberries...<<Against the backdrop of a seaside holiday, the book sings the joy of summer freedoms and explores that transitional moment when childhood becomes adolescences. << '....one of the most beautiful books written in post-war Spain.' Gregorio Moran, La Vanguardia. <<<< 'The summer made word... a small miracle that explodes on every page.....' Maria Jose Obiol, El Pais.
