Recommendations
MORI MEMENT
If you enjoy crime novels, I highly recommend "Memento Mori." It's an incredible Spanish novel, full of suspense and tension, and it even has a great soundtrack. We step into the shoes of a police inspector and, more importantly, a killer, especially through the fantastic music he listens to.
THE HAND OF FATIMA
Historical fiction is one of my favorite literary genres, especially when it's well-researched. This is the case with *The Hand of Fatima*, in which the author not only moves us but also rigorously shows, describes, and teaches us a part of history. Granada Little known: the life of the Moorish community after the capture of Granada by Reyes Católicos until their subsequent expulsion. This is why I recommend you take this trip through the Albaicín and AlpujarraFollow the protagonist, Hernando, and share his love and suffering while discovering a very disturbing part of Spanish history.
THE MERCENARY OF GRANADA
With a book by Juan Eslava Galán, I know I'm going to learn while enjoying myself, or perhaps I'm going to enjoy learning? It makes no difference: his knowledge of history, the dynamism he brings to the story, the subtle irony that accompanies it… He's a very engaging author who always captivates me.
PATRIA
I liked it because of how it narrates terrorism in the Basque Country through two families, one that of an ETA victim and the other that of the murderer.
TREASURE HUNT IN GRANADA
I just read my penultimate book (Eva, The second in the series about the cynical Falcó (an expiator by profession), and right in the middle of a literary month, this little gem has fallen into my hands: Treasure Hunt in GranadaÓlafur Páll Jónsson's novel, which revolves around interculturality, tells the story of how an Icelandic girl perceives the everyday lives of adults and children in Spanish culture, contrasting them with her Icelandic perspective. The novel's sharp, insightful, ironic, and original commentary, full of humor and cloaked in innocence and spontaneity, yet grounded in deep reflection, will surprise and delight readers.
Some believe that chance does not exist; in any case, planned by a universal karma Or truly spontaneous, there are fantastic coincidences. I celebrate the coincidence that this book fell into my hands, a treasure already found in GranadaThank you, Ólafur.
