I found this quite a strange book but I am not sure if that is because I hadn't read the first book! Effectvioely, it is the story of two adults trying to raise a very headstrong, very 'different' little boy with the plot involving murder, madness and passion.
It is set in a dystopian Spain where everyone seems to be a immigrant from another life but they have forgotten their past including their name upon arrival in Spain.
The story was strange with a lot of abstract philosophy about identity, passion, the reliability of memories etc.
Actually, the book was oddly compulsively readable - involving and haunting.
I think at some point when have stopped thinking about the this one I will read the first and I think there must be at least another book in the series because the ending was so strange!
