THE IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER A marriage unravels in a Spanish hotel room as a young wife is
haunted by a past love. A father travels to Paris to meet his scientist son and is exposed to
his son's true nature. A woman attends a reading by a famous author and comes to some painful
realisations about her own marriage. The stories in Barcelona reveal the underlying disquiet
of modern life and the sometimes brutal nature of humanity. Whether on city streets long car
journeys or in suburban rooms we glimpse characters as they approach those moments of
desperation - or revelation - that change or reshape fate.
