Vanessa Rocchetta got more than what she bargained for with Jeremy Holland’s 10 short stories as they go beyond Barcelona’s breathtaking architecture to reveal the city’s soul.
Some of the short stories are nicely rounded; Monica describes a woman’s struggle to balance her loyalty between her job and her family, Running the Gauntlet revolves around a vigilante who wants to target street crime by fighting back with violence. The plausible fictitious tale about Barcelona’s famous architect, Gaudi and his friend and benefactor, Eusebio Guell, gives us a nice portrait of a man who had a ‘prickly country temperament’ and was passionate to form an independent Catalunya.
