I went to the presentation of the novel by Sergio Vila-sanjuan, that Editorial Destinohas published under the title "An heiress from Barcelona."
I have not read it yet, but I know it is inspired by his grandfather and, therefore, deals with the rural aristocracy gives way to post-industrial aristocracy and anarchism. Whenever the Prince of Salinas, but in our city, which somehow is an island, although the changes so that nothing changes are more frequent than in Sicily.
There was a member of Desvalls family, who said a truth: the landed aristocracy's who constituted the society for many centuries, and now its members have been integrated into normal society as anyone else. "I have a friend -he explained- that says that she is three times Marquise and she would like to live like a Marquise."
Well, Sergio Vila-sanjuan gave me a little envious. A man in his fifties, he published his novel and also thank him publicly for his wife, May-charming-, and their four children. An enviable fullness of life.
About the novel "An heiress to Barcelona", I will the comments when I’ve finished.
