“This is a fierce, passionate book—at home in every genre because it knows that great fiction does not need to choose between them. Manuel Astur’s writing moves between high lyricism and hard, stony realism, and Of Saints and Miracles has a style all of its own. Thanks to Claire Wadie’s rigorous yet resourceful translation, this essential Spanish novel, with its compelling characters, histories and landscapes, is available to the anglophone reader in all its magic, tenderness and brutality.”
Patrick McGuinness, author of Throw Me to the Wolves and The Last Hundred Days
