Soaringly beautiful, urgent and disturbing... A masterpiece.' Colm T ib n, from the introduction Death in Spring is a dark and dream-like tale of a teenage boy's coming of age in a remote village in the Catalan mountains; a place cut off from the outside world, where cruel customs are blindly followed, and attempts at rebellion swiftly crushed.
