Praise for Mercè Rodoreda

“Rodoreda plumbs a sadness that reaches beyond historic circumstances . . . an almost voluptuous vulnerability.”

—Natasha Wimmer, The Nation

“Rodoreda had bedazzled me by the sensuality with which she reveals things within the atmosphere of her novels.”

—Gabriel García Márquez

“It is a total mystery to me why [Rodoreda] isn’t widely worshipped. . . . She’s on my list of authors whose works I intend to have read all of before I die. Tremendous, tremendous writer.”

—John Darnielle, The Mountain Goats

“When you read [Death in Spring], read it for its beauty, for the way it will surprise and subvert your desires, and as a testament to the human spirit in the face of brutality and willful inhumanity.”

—Jesmyn Ward, NPR

“The humor in the stories, as well as their thrill of realism, comes from a Nabokovian precision of observation and transformation of plain experience into enchanting prose.”

—Los Angeles Times
