Frauen können mehr als „vor Sehnsucht mit den Brüsten zittern“! Weiter als bis S. 72 habe ich die Misogynie und Fetischisierung der „unschuldigen“ Frau - trotz sicherlich beeindruckender Sprachgewandtheit - nicht ausgehalten.

+ description of Barcelona 
- misogyny + sexism - every female character is created for the male gaze; EACH male character is obsessed with women and objectifies them
- i just didn't care that much about the plot
- to much romance

Although I loved the literary mystery and setting,  the ubiquitous misogyny and violence is hard to handle. Women are not treated well in this book…
