«El Quincunce» is the historical mystery novel by Charles Palliser, published by Anaya & Mario Muchnik in paperback (1195 pages, in Spanish).
A young man unaware of his own family's secrets becomes embroiled in a disputed inheritance and a web of mysteries spanning nineteenth-century England. The novel, divided into five parts and built like a labyrinth of revelations, blends intrigue, law and social criticism with the conventions of Victorian narrative.
«El Quincunce» was originally published as «The Quincunx» in 1989 and won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction; the 1995 Spanish edition is a translation by Andrea Morales Vidal.
For readers of historical, Victorian and mystery fiction who appreciate lengthy plots and family secrets.
Charles Palliser is an American-born and British-based novelist. His most well-known novel, The Quincunx, has sold over a million copies internationally. He is the elder brother of the late author and freelance journalist Marcus Palliser.
