«Barrio de Maravillas» is the novel by Rosa Chacel, published by Planeta in hardback (252 pages, in Spanish).
The novel focuses on two girls growing up in early 20th-century Madrid and on their way of looking at the world, a gaze still free of shadows. Through the streets of the neighbourhood, the neighbours and the small daily routines, the author composes a portrait of childhood and of an era that refuses to disappear.
It is the first instalment of a trilogy completed by Acrópolis and Ciencias Naturales. It won the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Castellana.
For readers interested in 20th-century Spanish narrative and the Generation of '27.
