«La pequeña muerte» is the historical fiction novel by Roser Caminals-Heath, published by Bruguera in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
The plot begins in 1920, when a bomb at the Pompeia cabaret on Barcelona's Paralelo avenue brings together Andreu Nadal, a shy young man, and circus artist Sabina Lombarda. From that encounter, Andreu must delve into his own past to understand his present, while the author links his story with a group of smugglers preparing one of the most talked-about events of the era. On this framework, Caminals portrays an anarchist and revolutionary Barcelona, opulent in its upper classes and miserable in its underworld, and recreates the real triple murder that occurred on Parliament Street in 1920 with police intrigue and a love story.
Originally written in Catalan as «La Petita Mort», this Spanish edition is translated by the author herself. The novel is based on a real crime and is set in early 20th-century Barcelona.
Recommended for readers of historical novels and urban noir chronicles set in Barcelona, with a plot combining police investigation and romance.
