Spanish Beauty

di Esther Garcia Llovet (Autore)

Foundry Editions, 2025

Meet Michela - English gangster father, flamenco dancer mother - a hard, uncompromising police officer, operating on the shadier side of the law. In the company of this unorthodox, magnetically compelling character, cult writer Esther Garcia Llovet takes us on a breath-taking, high-speed, anarchic romp through the underbelly of the pearl of the Costa Brava, Benidorm, on the hunt for Reggie Kray's stolen cigarette lighter. Beyond the sunburn and all-day fry-ups, in casinos, bars that are fronts for money laundering and flashy high society parties, we meet an unforgettable cast of characters: English gangsters, Russian mafiosi, chancers, no-hopers, and low-life of all complexions in this unconventional yet literary thriller. With a turn of phrase that always astonishes, an eye for detail that is as forensic as it is cinematic, a sense of humour as dry as a glass of fino, and a wilful desire to break conventional genres, Llovet's book feels like the best of Almodovar in surreal, novel form.
