The time of cherries

£10.99

Natàlia Miralpeix returns to Barcelona after twelve years abroad, only a few days after the execution of a Catalan militant anarchist. She encounters a society irrevocably touched by the last years of the Franco regime, in flight from itself. Still, she is determined to face old ghosts: the conservative, bourgeois world of her girlhood, where the cost of free love strains family ties, and women are confined to the domestic realm. The long years of political repression have cast a shadow over the city's inhabitants, who veer between historical forgetfulness and the unease of fear.

We dispatch items as soon as possible. If they are in stock, we typically dispatch books within two days. If we have to order them from our suppliers, it can take a little longer. We dispatch pre-orders on the date the book is published. We use Royal Mail second-class in the UK, and send books via standard international delivery to the EU and the rest of the world. In the UK delivery should take 3-4 days, in the rest of the world it could be a week or two. If you need a quicker delivery, we are happy to explore other options - please just get in touch at contact@verandabooks.com
