«Barrio de Maravillas» is the novel by Rosa Chacel published by Bibliotex in paperback (223 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows two girls, Isabel and Elena, in early 20th-century Madrid: while Elena arranges the house and her family's life as she pleases, Isabel lives with her mother in the attic, unaware of her father's secrets. The neighbourhood, with its pharmacy, its neighbours and the street, becomes another character in this story about childhood as a glass bell where everything sounds with a different light.
The edition includes a prologue by Clara Janés and belongs to the collection Biblioteca El Mundo «Las 100 mejores novelas en castellano del siglo XX».
For readers interested in contemporary Spanish narrative and in the works of Rosa Chacel.
