WINNER OF AN ENGLISH PEN AWARD
'Effortlessly readable and fizzing with energy, this novel is by turns quirky, funny and thoughtful'
Mail on Sunday
Dani Mosca is 40 and his father has just died.
Fulfilling his father's last wishes, Dani embarks on a road trip back to his childhood village, a three-hour hearse journey from Madrid. Leaving behind the busy streets of the city for the deserted, archaic heart of Spain, Dani revisits the key junctions of his life: his conflicted relationship with a pragmatic and authoritarian father; the mystery of his birth; his school years in the repressed atmosphere of Catholic Spain; the origin of his band and its early successes; the emptiness left by a tragically lost friendship; his great loves.
Laugh-out-loud funny, deeply moving and featuring an unforgettable cast of characters - from Ecuadorian drivers to Spanish Bowie lookalikes - Rolling Fields is a novel full of the grace and messiness of life: brave, exciting and completely irresistible.
Translated from Spanish by Rahul Bery

Zustand: Muy bueno. : Dani Mosca, a sus 40 años, enfrenta la reciente pérdida de su padre. Cumpliendo los últimos deseos de este, Dani se embarca en un viaje por carretera de tres horas en coche fúnebre desde Madrid hasta su pueblo natal. Dejando atrás la bulliciosa ciudad, Dani se adentra en el corazón arcaico y desierto de España, revisitando momentos clave de su vida: su relación conflictiva con un padre pragmático y autoritario, el misterio de su nacimiento, sus años escolares en la atmósfera reprimida de la España católica, los inicios de su banda y sus primeros éxitos, el vacío dejado por una amistad trágicamente perdida y sus grandes amores. 'Rolling Fields' es una novela divertida, conmovedora y llena de personajes inolvidables, desde conductores ecuatorianos hasta imitadores españoles de Bowie. Una historia valiente, emocionante e irresistible que refleja la gracia y el caos de la vida.
