Thanks to the editorial Planeta, on Wednesday 23 February, it the 23-F, could assist in Kafka Hotel Madrid for a meeting between the Catalan writer Care Santos and 10 lucky bloggers that we enjoy and a half hours of talk, confessions and views on the latest novel by the author, closed rooms, which goes on sale next March 8.
Care Santos Just met at the Hotel Kafka, in the presentation war scenarios, Andrea Jeftanovic . I love this place, a paradise for lovers of literature and books and I think Wednesday's match could not have had a better scenario.
You can read the chronicle of the on Books Arts and very soon you will also read the review Accountt life of the novel, and very kindly sent me Metro on Monday 21 galleys of the book, ie proofs.
When I went to the presentation had read 236 pages that I had been seduced, enthralled and excited. And I left there with a great desire to finish the novel and continue to discover the past, secrets and history of Lax, a family of Catalan gentry who lived in Barcelona during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
As happened in the meeting between bloggers and the writer Javier Sierra to present his latest novel, The lost angel, on Wednesday was also an intimate act, close, familiar. The organizers gave us water, soft drinks, beer and wine and several trays of sandwiches or flea. It seemed more a meeting of friends who meet at a coffee shop to talk about what they like the presentation of a book. Even ended up making a toast.
addition, I was lucky to meet other bloggers and Carlos de Magic Triad, Gemma Anika including books, Merche of week's newsletter , Milà Malena Tete, Bella Dreamers book, Paul and Carmen Entrelectores of Culturama , and re-match with Maria de am a hunter of shadows and books.
all talk among ourselves and with our own Care Santos not only closed rooms, but also the Internet, the blogosphere, creating characters, what we like to read and write relations and many authors and readers things that you can read in the chronicle of the presentation, by the way, I hope you like it.
I leave you with the synopsis of the novel and with photographs of the presentation.

The investigation of this death allows Catalan writer shelling Care Santos family history of Lax, a powerful bourgeois caste, from the late nineteenth century to the present. The reader will know the miseries of this illustrious family saga, from the rumors that suggest that the Lax grandmother fled to Venezuela with the owner of the department store El Siglo, even overshadowing the figures of his grandmother Maria del Roser, the matriarch of the clan, and his father, Modesto. Exciting and attached to the city of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe novel mixes family mysteries and seductive scenario: a changing, modern city that explodes with the arrival of the Second Republic. A cool historical and social as Shadow of the Wind or The time between hook and no seams te suelta.
