Reviews

‘Sara Mesa’s writing is mysterious and fascinating: her characters brush against the limits in environments of fierce false calm. Un Amor is one of her best novels – tense and beautiful like a crouching bird.’ – Mariana Enríquez, author of Our Share of Night and The Dangers of Smoking in Bed; ‘Sara Mesa sees the world through the lens of power, exploring how questions of strength and weakness shape human behaviour.’ – Annie McDermott, The Times Literary Supplement; ‘What can I say about a story in which everything works?’ – Sergio Sancor, Libros y Literatura; ‘Sara Mesa creates high-voltage literature crafted with goldsmith’s precision.’ – Rafael Chirbes, renowned Spanish author of On the Edge
