This is a very unusual book following the adventures of Consuelo, a determined and intrepid middle-aged Spanish lady who works in a market in Madrid. The storyline has elements of Dan Brown, delving into mysterious aspects of the history of Spain, but I preferred it to his books - it has what his books don't have - a wry sense of humour, realistically observed characters and an unusual minute-by-minute diary style.
This is a very original and compelling story - I was truly impressed!
