Product Description
Last Evenings with Teresa (Paperback)
Author: Juan Marsé
Format: Paperback
A REDISCOVERED POST-WAR LOVE STORY FROM ONE OF SPAIN’S MOST ACCLAIMED AUTHORS.
1950s Barcelona. A rebellious daughter of a wealthy family meets an ambitious rogue at a party.
Teresa was born with every advantage in life – beautiful, rich, charming and clever. Another left-wing university student in the wealthy neighbourhood of San Gervasio.
Manolo has only ever existed on the margins. A poor immigrant from Murcia like him, stealing motorbikes for a living, could only ever dream of being with the daughter of the Catalan bourgeoisie – until now.
Juan Marsé’s masterpiece is an unforgettable portrait of post-war Barcelona – a modern classic on the power of desire and love, ambition and hope against all odds.
