WINNER OF AN ENGLISH PEN AWARD 'Effortlessly readable and fizzing
with energy, this novel is by turns quirky, funny and thoughtful'
Mail on Sunday Dani Mosca is 40 and his father has just died.
Fulfilling his father's last wishes, Dani embarks on a road trip
back to his childhood village, a three-hour hearse journey from
Madrid. Leaving behind the busy streets of the city for the
deserted, archaic heart of Spain, Dani revisits the key junctions
of his life: his conflicted relationship with a pragmatic and
authoritarian father; the mystery of his birth; his school years in
the repressed atmosphere of Catholic Spain; the origin of his band
and its early successes; the emptiness left by a tragically lost
friendship; his great loves. Laugh-out-loud funny, deeply moving
and featuring an unforgettable cast of characters - from Ecuadorian
drivers to Spanish Bowie lookalikes - Rolling Fields is a novel
full of the grace and messiness of life: brave, exciting and
completely irresistible. Translated from Spanish by Rahul Bery
