In 'as new' condition, not price clipped (£14.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, unopened, unread. 166pp. 'The Low Voices' draws on a patchwork of memories from Rivas's early life under Franco. There's his beloved elder sister Maria, his mother the verbivore, his father a construction worker with vertigo, and a supporting cast of local priests, chatty hairdressers, wolf hunters and monstrous carnival effigies. The book is full of wonderful personal stories, set against a background of the ravages of the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath at home, and the wider world as Coca Cola sets up a factory nearby and news comes in of men landing on the moon. A brilliant coming of age novel from one of Spain's greatest storytellers, 'The Low Voices' is a humorous and philosophical take on memory, belonging, and the nature of storytelling itself.
