Fuck this book ;_;

Can you post in spoiler specifically why fuck this book? I remember it was a good novel, nothing spectacular, but a pretty story written well enough, but I'm particularly biased because the person who made me read it was my first girlfriend who was killed a couple of years after this, and about a year after we broke up.
Oddly enough, I can't remember much of the book now.

Oh well sorry to hear anon.
I particularly liked it because I have an interest in Spain around the time of the civil war and this is a really well-written coming of age story with dozens of sub-plots and interesting characters with the Franco regime as the backdrop. As a kissless NEET the romantic parts got to me hard. Maybe I'm exaggerating cause I have not read that many novels

Spanish anon here, i haven't read this book yet maybe i'll give it a try.
How much does it go into detail about the social and political situation of the time?
>>8206683
I'm glad to hear that.
none though. It's merely the time period it takes place
>>8206683
It doesn't.
It's all there, floating in the "mood", but if you're looking for a depiction of francoist spain, look elsewhere.

Since this is a Spanish thread, how do you feel about Hugh Thomas's The Spanish Civil War? Picked it up a while ago and it seems very interesting and thorough account.
