Purchase Celia’s Room here.
In 1990, having been awoken by the Spanish transition towards democracy, Barcelona is metamorphosing into her future Olympic identity…
Joaquim leaves his village to become a painter. Eduardo, educated between Canberra and the Costa Brava, is studying for his MBA. Despite their violently contrasting natures, they both fall under Celia’s enigmatic aura. The games they are learning to play will draw all three into conflict—against the backdrop of a city that is also rehearsing a new identity—leading them inexorably towards the truth of Celia’s Room.
Told through their own eyes, the sensitive Joaquim and cynical Eduardo unveil a dreamlike city, peopled with ghosts from their respective worlds. Discovering who they are will illuminate their own, their parents’ and even the city’s shadowy past.

I would like to leave a comment but I’m not sure whether this is the place. Well, here it goes.
I’ve been told that I’m the first non English native speaker to read Celia’s room. It is an honour. And I would like to say that the style, the rhythm of the story and the plot itself made me want to read more and more. I just got nervous and excited to think about what would happen next. Kevin Booth masters the art of writing as many great writers in history did and I’m sure that this novel is going to be a contribution to contemporanean literature. If you consider yourself a reader, you shouldn’t miss it. Buy the book because you’ll wish to read it again a few years later.

Wow! Thank you Toni for such a positive review, I am thrilled! It was my objective to portray a particular period and scene in Barcelona’s history which I think has not been much written about. I’ll do my best to live up to your praise with my next book, also set in Spain between the years of 1906 and 1940.
