Coming from you, that's a strong recommendation. I need to find an English version, either Kindle or Nook, but neither Amazon nor B&N lists it in English. See my reply below for the link posted by someone else.This is one of the top-ten books I ever read, ever!
Highly recommended. The English translation is very good, the Spanish gives the full impact.
)If the story is short enough, I might be inclined to try to read it to improve my SPanish comprehension. But that is an, 'in extremis' move.
Hi, I have just ordered a copy of this book (in Spanish) from the book depositary in London. It cost just over £5 with free delivery in the UK. Looking forward to receiving I.I just finished reading La lluvia amarilla (The Yellow Rain; Julio Llamazares, 1988), a short novel about the last inhabitant of a dying village in the Spanish Pyrenees. It's a haunting and beautiful story, as the narrator reflects back on the days that the other families left the village, and as the winter wind and snow slowly destroy the remaining houses one by one.
It's not a "camino" book per se, but reading it I really felt like I was re-visiting some of the abandoned or semi-abandoned villages we saw along the way (San Antón, Foncebadón, et al.).
I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to revisit Spain this winter, and to gain a deeper understanding of some of the places we saw. Be warned, though: it is also an extremely sad story.
I can't vouch for the English translation, but the Spanish isn't complicated. It's on kindle, which has a pop-up Spanish to English dictionary to help with new words. It's definitely accessible to any intermediate readers.
