The author lays his heart on the table from the start, with tenderness when appropriate and rawness when necessary, touching the reader s soul thanks exclusively to the honesty his words convey. --Álvaro Colomer, Micro-revista
A book that makes the literature of grief notably richer. --Ricardo Senabre, El Mundo
That The Violet Hour reduced me to tears should not, therefore, be counted as a mark of its achievement. That it did so while pushing me to consider the condition of bereavement and our responses to it, the philosophy and metaphors that surround it, however, should. . . .And for all the author s thoughtfulness and exactitude, his intellectual searching, it is Sergio del Molino s grief, into which we re drawn, that powers this beautiful, bitter, essential book. --Times Literary Supplement

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
