«Cónclave» is the historical novel by Italian writer Roberto Pazzi, published by Paso de Zebra Comunicación in paperback (255 pages, in Spanish).
In Rome, the cardinals have been in conclave for months without managing to elect a pope. Television loses interest and the smoke signals from the Sistine Chapel stop drawing audiences, but unsettling rumours leak out: a cardinal dies, another tries to flee, and omens and spells threaten the assembly. What is blocking the election defies all expectations.
The original work was published in 2001 and received the Giovanni Comisso Prize for Fiction. This Spanish edition appeared in 2006.
For readers of historical fiction and fiction with a religious backdrop, particularly Vatican settings and conclaves.
