The building of Santa María del Mar and a serf's rise in medieval Barcelona. The quintessential Spanish historical bestseller.
✍️ ChatZona's review
Falcones turned the construction of the basilica of Santa Maria del Mar into the engine of a popular historical novel that worked because it found the right balance between historical rigour and entertainment. Arnau Estanyol is a protagonist of the right scale to be a popular hero without being implausible. It is a long novel, aware of its length, and readers forgive it because each chapter returns them to a well-constructed world. The best of the genre in Spain in recent years.
