Riassunto

When, on his fifth wedding anniversary, Julio gets back home and his wife is nowhere to be found, he feels an omen of doom. From this point forward, he will engage on an increasingly frenzied search for his wife and take us through the searing abyss faced by those attached to somebody who has grown tired of living.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Colomer has created an engaging narrator and the bewildered clarity of his voice is plausibly deadpan, while the blighted logic is precise, if unsettling. Julio is sarcastic and given to snapping, yet sympathetic because he is real. Whatever about what is happening, it is the way in which Julio attempts to make sense of it all that engages us. . . It will make you laugh out aloud and then weep silently before thinking long and hard. Colomer is a truth teller and his art is deliberate. Here is another Spanish novel to applaud." The Irish Times

"Uppsala Woods is a book I really enjoyed, a gripping read and an entertaining and thought-provoking look at the effects of modern life on our will to live."—Tony's Reading List
