＂A magnificent and powerful novel.＂ ?Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País
In September 1927, Nalo starts working as a trainee for the gardener at the blue palace of the Belgian engineers. A time of revolutions and war, his years at the palace will bring his awakening to life. With a careful and crafted prose, Fulgencio Argüelles displays a varied array of characters who share friendship, love, and hardship.
An ongoing success in Spain, now in its eighth reprint. A perfect blend of historical novel and top literary fiction with an outstanding translation by a multi-awarded translator.
