Books Reviews La dona tatuada by Laia Vidal Escòlies This is the book that puts you right inside the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona. However, I’m less interested in military matters than in how the woman copes with the war. It’s not the usual novel with a linear structure, it changes form present to past constantly, and that’s how it catches your attention. Mar Casas Think of a Number by John Verdon It’s a psychological thriller that catches your attention so much that you could finish its 414 pages in less than a week. The level of detail is such as to get you stuck in detective David Gurney’s life, almost as if you were himself. I would totally recommend it because Think of a Number is a breath-taking John Verdon’s masterpiece. Diana Fernández
